We have a case where we want to copy only those files directly under Source folder to Destination folder, and ignore any subfolders under Source folder. Is there a switch that supports this requirement?

contentsync . /temp/foo didn't work (unrecognized argument /t)

Quick question about contentSync. I scanned the code and should just emperically answer my own question by trying, but i think i could miss things and that could be dangerous.
Anyway, my question is simply this:
Because you flatten all folders and subfolders into a list of files before comparing, what would happen in cases such as:

1. an identical file is in a different subfolder.
2. multiple files with various permutations of files having the same names, different names, different content, same content, different sub folders, same subfolders... etc...

To give an example scenerio: if 2 folders were compared each having the same files; however, folder 1 had the files all in that root directory and folder 2 had them split between 2 subfoldes. Would they be deemed identical? What if main folder 2 had some of the files in both subfolders (duplicated)? would name play a role at all in these cases? or does content mean all content except the name (and no attributes of course)?

There are so many variations of examples but i will ask just one more and hope i am making sense - does the tool mirror the folder structure in the destication if you want it too... or is it just about comparing flattened structures? Or can it do either directory structure AND flattened files only?

By the way - i love that it does compare CONTENT (i have been so burned by the date being the 'master' in the past) AND that it flattens directories. Just want to ensure these details if possible.

I hope this makes sense.

Thanks a lot, Tom
