I've added a short description of the -N option to the paper now. But I've
used a different text: basically because you speak of 'fully qualified
names' and 'the receiving end' in your suggestion which are imo confusing
limitations to what -N does (which is in fact very simple).

The LaTeX source of the paper is managed in a seperate subversion
repository (a repository with my papers and presentations). The source can
be downloaded from:

	http://www.clifford.at/papers/2005/csync2/

(but it needs the bit exotic TeX 'svn' package)

adding the TeX source to the csync2 package would be code duplication. And
I don't like code duplication very much..  ;-)

adding the PDF would be ok. but I liked the idea of beeing able to extend
the documentation without the need of making a new release for publishing
the updated documentation.. and I do not think that it is very likely that
someone is going to setup csync2 on a cluster but has no access to the
internet. I do know that some proxies are configured to block my webpage,
www.clifford.at, because it is a 'private webpage', but that's why the pdf
is also mirrored on http://oss.linbit.com/csync2/.

yours,
