Thanks for pointing that out.
I've changed it to be like this:
`-a'
`--archive'
Preserve as much as possible of the structure and attributes of the
original files in the copy (but do not attempt to preserve internal
directory structure; i.e., `ls -U' may list the entries in a copied
directory in a different order).
