Description burrelln 2004-04-09 15:42:41 UTC 
When backup files ending in '~' exist in /etc/gensync, gensync uses their contents as well.  If one edits *.syncsource files in emacs, these backup files are produced but should not be read because they contain out of date information.  

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.cp /etc/gensyc/bmg-main.syncsource /etc/gensync/bmg-main.syncsource~
2.gensync --list-sources
3.

Actual Results:  
bmg-main listed twice

Expected Results:  
listed it only once
