Bug Description

Binary package hint: unison

syncing one very large disk (desktop) with a very small disk (laptop) often puts me over the space available on the smaller disk (eg after a video editing session on the desktop). it would be handy to be warned in advance without having to wait for the synchronization to fail half way through.

unison-gtk 2.13.16
ubuntu 8.04.1

just a thought

I just noticed that it's more inclined to run out of space because it does copies before deletes (though i guess this is on purpose to avoid data loss)

it would also be handy when clicking on a 'new dir' line in the differences list to be able to see the size of the new directory, presumably in the info section at the bottom of the window
