As I ponder this a little bit more, it seems that a really
simple method, if you want the folder on the second
machine to exactly match the same folder on the first
machine, is to destroy the folder on the second machine
and then make a fresh copy of the thing from the first
machine. Only downside I can see is time, if it's a
sizable folder with relatively few changes.
