Bug Description
.u1conflict files need to be synchronised.
Currently when a conflict occurs the computer which initiated the sync stores both the original file and the conflicting file. The conflicting file has ".u1conflict" appended to the end of it's file name. However the .u1conflict file is not synced to the second computer where the conflicting file originated from.
Solution: sync the ".u1conflict" files so that the conflict can be resolved from any computer.

- Sync Polish - 2.3.A - All conflicting files need to be synchronised + Sync Polish - 2.3.A - .u1conflict files need to be synchronised |

I am marking this as Won't Fix, but it should probably Won't Fix 'this way'.
While we do need to find a better way to resolve conflicts, distributing the problem won't solve it.
When a conflict occurs it is because the original file on that local computer has a problem so the user can't resolve the problem from any computer. It is also quite possible that multiple computers end up with different conflicts for the same file. If it is synced, it would be a disaster and possible recursive.
