My use case is an unstructured downloads folder used to seed torrents and a structured folder containing hardlinks back to the downloads folder for use with Jellyfin. E.g. /data/downloads/SomeMovie-1999.mkv /data/media/Movies/Some Movie (1999)/SomeMovie-1999.mkv # hardlinked with downloads The /data folder would be synced with Unison between two computers over a fairly slow WAN. I can potentially contribute code if the developers support the feature in theory.
