<div class="im">Unison uses the local file system, so there's no need for Internet access and I/O is fast. But since everyone has their own copy of the file and only synchronizes periodically it's possible to create conflicts, which either need to be resolved by hard-coded rules (e.g. host A wins, latest update wins) or manually by users. </div>
