Deletion of updated files about bitpocket HOT 1 CLOSED

Hi,

Yeah, this is one of these cases where it is hard to define correct behavior. In this case also it's hard to say who "is right", A or B. For safety it would be better to keep updated file because it may include new important content. Unfortunately rsync doesn't keep any log with deletion/update times so it can't tell if the file that was deleted on A (and thus removed from "master" store) should be restored from A's copy. Adding workaround for this case would require a lot of code (and almost implementing light scm) and I'm not planning to do this. If you feel it's crucial you can fork and try implementing such an improvement. If it appears to be light solution than I will happily merge it.
