IMHO, This would be well supported by my "culler" submission once a
"comparison culler" is added (in about a week?). It would look
something like this:
<copy toDir="\tmp\toDir">
<fileset dir="\tmp\fromDir">
<compareculler dir="\\tmp\toDir" exists="no" />
</fileset>
</copy>
I might add that the comparison culler will also support "newer" and
other comparison options.
