[Dovecot] dovecot 2.2.x and replication with dsync and shared / public namespace

[romain]

Replying to my self :

Dovecot 2.2 seems to have problem to replicate shared folders / public 
folders.

To workaround, I had to modify source file 
"src/replication/replicator/dsync-client.c" and change line 210 :
   str_printfa(cmd, "\tsync\t-d\t-N\t-l\t%u", DSYNC_LOCK_TIMEOUT_SECS);
To :
   str_printfa(cmd, "\tsync\t-d\t-l\t%u", DSYNC_LOCK_TIMEOUT_SECS);

This way, replicator is using command :
doveadm sync -u USERNAME -d -l 30 -U -s
instead of
doveadm sync -u USERNAME -d -N -l 30 -U -s
(note : -N enable to sync all Namespace)
Latest command would sync all user's Namespace (private / shared / 
public) and will failed, and user's mailboxes won't be replicated.

An option in replicator plugin's could be usefull to enable / disable 
sync of shared folders, sync of public folders, and sync of user's 
mailboxes.
