rsync - May 2002 - SCRATCH update wrong date, soft links, Debian stable, -L, ...

Hmm,

scratch the issue

I used touch on the file and now it works (even though it shouldn't have
made a difference).  In short - maybe its not [purely anyway] rsync
related.

(From last post)

(Though 'newer' and 'stat' had already clearly showed it to be
newer,
and though I had saved it to be sure it had a recent date - I tried
touch anyway.  Still - newer said it was newer and rsync didn't - but in
that case touch shouldn't have changed the condition.  So maybe its an
nfs fluke?  Who knows...)

Maybe it was the other time.  newer goes by mtime, as does ls, by default. 
 I think rsync checks ctime too.
