Which I just did. I had taken BitBleach for a test drive and started it
doing a deep clean which cleans up Emacs backup files among others. I
had thought I'd canceled the operation since some of my files in my
EncFS secure directory match "*~". I was mistaken and I did not catch
the mistake until after a Unison run wiped out a bunch of important
stuff.

Not a problem. I shut things down, rsync'd from last night's snapshot,
and I'm back in business with nothing lost.
