Agreable, but regarding one point that if things are a bit funny, dont use it. It's either useable or not in this context, so is there anything you can add as far as the risks involved?
Thats open source for ya. Remember I just released ZSyncer for the heck of it from an internal project where it works just fine...
Let me state a scenario:
A subfolder you have entered in ZSync has almost ALL items as out of date but you know only one or two are ACTUALLY out of date. What could happen if you sync the in-date, out of date items? From the way I see it, it only refreshes the copy of the object to be (theoretically) the same as it was before the update... (follow me?)
The same as it always does. It will replace the copy on the destination server with the one on your source server.
Is it possible that this misnomered sync could cause garbage to go in, or clear the contents of the object or....
Nope, it will replace the copy on the destination server with the one on your source server.
From what you say that only the datetime is compared, than if the site you are working on is fully functional, then a misnomered sync in fact doesnt do anything, except for update the datetime to what it understands as 'proper'
It will replace the copy on the destination... etc. A by product of this sync is to reset the date.
