I am looking for a complete and up-to-date reference which describes the 
*intended* synchronization model in ownCloud. Do you know if there is one 
(apart from the ocsync source code)? In particular, what happens if time in not 
up-to-date on all clients, or if the clock on a client is manually adjusted (in 
the future or into the past) or if a clock drifts in time. This is normal in 
heterogeneous distributed environments.

And a specific question regarding the file wipe you discuss: isn't it a case 
that file modifications are versioned on the server and same should apply to 
deletions (i.e. moved to a trash area before wiped off completely)?

Many thanks,

kuba
