This operation copies all files currently listed in org-mobile-files
to the directory org-mobile-directory. By default this list contains
all agenda files (as listed in org-agenda-files), but additional files
can be included by customizing org-mobile-files. File names will be
staged with paths relative to org-directory, so all files should be
inside this directory. The push operation also creates a special Org file
agendas.org with all custom agenda view defined by the
user1.
Finally, Org writes the file index.org, containing links to all other
files. MobileOrg first reads this file from the server, and then
downloads all agendas and Org files listed in it. To speed up the download,
MobileOrg will only read files whose checksums2 have changed.
[1] While creating the agendas, Org mode will force ID properties
on all referenced entries, so that these entries can be uniquely identified
if MobileOrg flags them for further action. If you do not want to get
these properties in so many entries, you can set the variable
org-mobile-force-id-on-agenda-items to nil. Org mode will then
rely on outline paths, in the hope that these will be unique enough.
