I can copy that.
I am using unison file synchronizer over a decade with GNU/Linux,
Windows (NT to Win7), and OS X without issues.

Agreed.
On my private Linux machine, I am using gitwatch[1] to auto-commit
any changes. A cron-job synchronizes periodically my Org-mode
directory to my root-server (unison over ssh).
All other machines synchronize to the root server using interactive
Unison. On my Windows machine at work, I wrote a batch file which
starts unison, then GNU/Emacs, and then unison again. This way, I
make sure that I start Emacs with the latest version of my Org-mode
files and changes get synchronized after I quit Emacs.
