Hi Vincent,

looking good!! I have a few questions:

1. What are the "syncany" and "syncany.bat" scripts in the main folder for?

2. There are a few statements in the syncany-core build.gradle that are not
necessary, right? syncany-core is not an "application", so they can be
removed, right? The src

3. The syncany-cli (and the GUI) needs a few JVM options, like described
here: https://github.com/binwiederhier/syncany/blob/master/syncany#L12 --
They can be replaced in the target scripts like this (Google helped :-)):

startScripts {
    doLast {
        unixScript.text =
unixScript.text.replace('DEFAULT_JVM_OPTS=""',
'DEFAULT_JVM_OPTS="-Xmx1024m -Dfile.encoding=utf-8"')
        windowsScript.text =
windowsScript.text.replace('DEFAULT_JVM_OPTS=',
'DEFAULT_JVM_OPTS="-Xmx1024m -Dfile.encoding=utf-8"')
    }
}

4. For the distTar/distZip targets, the LICENSE and README file should be
in the distributables, is there a way to add more files/folders?

5. I have not yet located the issue with the --localdir=.. -- This is
really odd, because the syncany-cli shell script runs in the current
working directory. At least "pwd" outputs the right directory

6. Gradle seems to be very poorly documented and whenever I am researching
stuff, I'm worried that this will get back to us some day. What's your
opinion about that?

I'll be on #syncany on Freenode/IRC for the next couple of hours, if you
want to chat.

Best
Philipp
