The next release of Scap, our deployment tool, renames the "scap sync"
subcommand to "scap sync-world". The sync command should mostly only
be used by Release Engineering during train deployments, and SWAT
folks updating l10n; everyone else almost certainly wants "scap
sync-file" instead. The change is to make it harder to use the wrong
command by mistake.
If you know of another use of "scap sync", especially in a script
rather then interactive use, please tell me as soon as possible, by
leaving a comment on this Phabricator task:

The next release will probably happen within a few weeks. After that
"scap sync" will be an error, with a message suggesting "scap
sync-world" or "scap sync-file" as a replacement. (Which is OK for
interactive use, but might be problematic for scripts.)
