Bug#615527: unison: should give a usable return value

[axst@users.sourceforge.net]

Package: unison
Version: 2.27.57-1+b1
Severity: wishlist

For use in scripts, a return value would be quite useful. Different problems could be
distinguished (profile does not exist, network problems, server refuses connection, wrong
unison version on server, inconsistencies) as well as perhaps even good outcomes (files
transferred one way or both ways, repositories changed in the same way, repositories
unchanged).
