Diwaker Gupta commented on FOR-392:
-----------------------------------

I'm not sure if this is the "correct" behavior -- atleast I disagree. I don't 
want the deploy to EVER touch any existing files on a remote host. Yes, having 
a configurable option helps.

Was there a feature request for this? Do users miss this feature? If not, I 
would close this issue. A specialized protocol like rsync is really the best of 
doing such a thing. And unless Forresbot has access to some rsync 
implementation, with the existing deploy targets (scp, ftp, with the exception 
of svn) this is probably non-trivial to implement. I'm not saying this is a 
reason not to pursue this, but just want to make sure we understand the 
cost-benefits of the issue.
