I know git-annex. It is very powerful, yes. BTDT. I don't want that:
I don't want to have a central server. I don't want versioning on
all files. I doubt the performance and efficiency with binaries in
git. I consider myself rather advanced in IT but the complexity of
git-annex is a bit scary to me.

YMMV and this is OK.

Syncthing seems to be exactly the tool of choice for me for now:
very simple to set up, nice and simple clients for every important
platform[1] and yet powerful enough in case I need anything advanced.

BUT:

My email was not about «what is a sync tool that allows for complex
ignore patterns» but rather «how are you using your ignore patterns
with Org-mode files to avoid issues».

So: do you sync everything of your Org-mode directory? 

If not: what are you ignoring? 

What is your experience especially when changing hosts? 


And the question which sums up probably all the related issues I can
think of by now: How do you sync Org-mode files, avoid temp data
being synced while preventing unsaved data lost.


[1] Except iOS but I wrote «important» on purpose as you might have
    noticed ;-)
