s3fs support for s3sync

Ferrix meet Randy, Randy meet Ferrix.

It woul be _great_ if your tools played with each other. I'm using s3sync to mirror EC2 instances and would like to be able to mount S3 buckets to access the same content using s3fs. Unfortunately the file/folder conventions aren't compatible.

Anything you can do?

Did anything ever come of this?  This would be really useful.

I wrote a Ruby FUSE implementation that understands s3sync's folders:

I would have worked on s3fs, but I'm not really into C++.

Same thing for S3Fox, but at least this allows you to download from s3sync-uploaded stuff.  There is a program for Windows called S3 Browser, that is fully compatible with s3sync.  Better than nothing.  We need a benevolent dictator here, who will decide what the official format should be.
