Bug Description

I tried to use Syncany since I believe it's going to be the best of such applications! :)

I compiled it and synced a small folder with few files to a SAMBA share. The folder synced perfectly and I saw some chunks of files created in the remote server.

Then I deleted all syncany related data from my home folder in the source computer, as if it's a new computer. I ran syncany again, it asked me to create a new folder pair so I chose the previous SAMBA share and it found the shared data. I matched this remote data with an empty folder on my computer.

The problem is that, I was expecting that syncany would sync the data in the SAMBA share back into the new empty folder in the local PC. This did not happen.

This is the problem, so let's say, if I sync some stuff to a server, then disk PC crashes and I lose the data, I buy a new disk, but I can't sync back my data on the server?

Many thanks!
