I think there was something happening on server side because with --noup
it has been completed in few seconds.

I would try it, but unfortunately I would have to make a bit more space
for having second copy of my mail.  I am testing muchsync on the same
machine between different users home directories, so it already takes
some space.  I'll try the experiment some day this week, I hope.

On the server side.  That's why I am worried.

So what would happen on my machine is that first client initialization
took place.  During this stage muchsync moved some files from new/ to
cur/. Later running "muchsync SERVER" tried to reflect client changes on
server by pushing renames requests to server.  Is it what actually could
happend?
