Support more flexible, faster development cycles #11

There are two small commits here with detailed messages. They add "-repeat watch" support and allow configuring the replica path. This combination enhances the ease of use and performance for development.

Here is a handy shell alias to start syncing from the current directory to an active Docker machine instance. This does require unison-fsmonitor to be set up on the client as well.

function dsync() {
    MACHINE=""
    if [[ -n $1 ]]; then
        MACHINE=$1
    else
        MACHINE="$(dm active)"
    fi

    HOST="$(dm ip $MACHINE)"
    PORT=5000
    if [[ -n $2 ]]; then
        PORT=$2
    fi

    unison . socket://$HOST:$PORT/ -ignore 'Path .git' -ignore 'Path tmp' -auto -batch -prefer . -repeat watch -fastcheck true
}

@botimer Thanks so much for submitting this PR! It looks good. Before I merge it, can you remove the second commit since that feature was already provided by #6, and update the commit message of the first commit to remove mention of -repeat which is a detail. e.g. Install and link unison-fsmonitor. Once that's done, mention me here and I'll merge!
