Also, while Mutagen's exact implementation is novel in a number of ways, I would be remiss to not point out that huge amount of academic work in this field was done by Benjamin Pierce[0] and later implemented in Unison[1].

I’ve been using unison for what feels like 14 years. Once working it was great but it always took me a while to figure out the exact command line options I wanted. Beautiful tool.

Reminds me of my occasional use of rsync. I'm always afraid of invoking it wrong and synching in the wrong direction.
