          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: v1_0_0_beta1
            Reporter: Sterling Hughes
            Assignee: Christopher Collins
             Fix For: v1_0_0_rel


newt sync currently deletes and resynchronizes the repository.

It's behaviour needs a review, minimally I think it should:

- go to the repositories its synching
- detect whether or not there are any local changes
- if so, goto #a
- if not, git pull the latest changes

#a
- check if -f (force) flag is present, if not, abort and print error message
- if -f is present, then it should stash the changes and save a diff, and then pull the latest from the remote repo (and print notice messages.)
