Hello,

I am mirroring a local application onto a remote server:

mirror -v -n -L -R -x \.txt -x \.htaccess -X \.git

The -n option doesn't seem to work:
-n, --only-newer    download only newer files 
However, even though locally nothing has changed, the same files are being 
uploaded again (wasting time and bandwidth and causing problems on the server 
because each file is being deleted before being re-uploaded):

Removing old file `cron.php'                                
Transferring file `cron.php'
Removing old file `index.php'                                
Transferring file `index.php'
Removing old file `install.php'                    
Transferring file `install.php'
etc.
etc.


Also, neither:
-X \.git
nor
-X \.git*
nor
-X .git
works.

man page:
-X GP, --exclude-glob GP exclude matching files
GP is a glob pattern, e.g. `*.zip'.
I wanted to be clever and use a GP to exclude .git and .gitignore, but 
apparently only -x .git works.

The main problem is that mirror -n does not work as expected.


Augustin.
