Command alias: add-dir

The assistant firstly asks for a unique sync-directory name. This may not match the physical directory name. If you are not sure, which names are already in use, you can get a list of currently present sync-directories with dav-sync list-directories. Then you specifiy the local path, select the dav repository and specify the collection within that repository. You may use environment variables like $HOME within the path name. A call of add-directory may look like this.

$ dav-sync add-directory
+Each sync directory must have an unique name.
+name: mysyncdir
+Enter local directory path.
+path: $HOME/important_files
+Specify webdav repository.
+0) myfirstrepo
+1) anotherrepo
+repository: 0
+Enter collection relative to the repository base url.
+collection (default: /): /important_files

Assume myfirstrepo points to https://mynas.local/. Then dav-sync would synchronize $HOME/important_files/ with https://mynas.local/important_files.
