The issue I have with yadm is that, unlike stow, it can't manage directories. For example, if you want to keep track of your whole Firefox profile's directory (without bothering adding/committing single files), in stow it&#x2

Kind of disappointed in not seeing end-to-end encryption being mentioned? I thought it was perceived as one of the fundamental flaws of email.
