Package: unison
Version: 2.9.1-1
Severity: normal

I'd like to preserve the time stamp during synchronisation. The manual does
not discuss this, and hence I tried to use the "-p" Option of ssh. The man
page is a little vague how to use it, so I tried all possibilities:
kreu...@platini:.../share/doc/unison[519] % unison-gtk -rshargs "-p"
Bad port 'unison'
Lost connection with the server
kreu...@platini:.../share/doc/unison[521] % unison-gtk -rshargs p   
Password: 
bash: line 1: p: command not found
Lost connection with the server
kreu...@platini:.../share/doc/unison[523] % unison-gtk -rshargs -p
Bad port 'unison'
Lost connection with the server

So either there is a bug in unison or in the man page which states:
       -rshargs xxx
              other arguments (if any) for remote shell command
where the man page states later:
       Some preferences  are  just  boolean  flags.  Others  take
       numeric  or string arguments, indicated in the preferences
       list by n or xxx. Most of the string  preferences  can  be
       given  several times; the arguments are accumulated into a
       list internally.

Runing just "unison-gtk" works fine, though. 

Both machines are running Debian GNU/Linux, the server stable, the client
testing.

Yes, thanks! (Somehow I did not see it initially). Was quite a pain to
convert from the pre-timestampe case, but now I'm happy :-))

Greetings
