two-way-merge
This merge tool simply merges two directories into each other. When there is a conflict, the merge takes the file with the later modified date.
Any file that ends with .delete will flag the file as requiring deletion. For instance dirA/path/to/file.delete will delete dirA/path/to/file, dirB/path/to/file, dirA/path/to/file.delete, and dirB/path/to/file.delete
