One possibility would be -a (for “ask”), but cp and rsync already use this for the common “archive” option. Another possibility would be -n (for “no overwrite”), but that would be confusing since cp uses this for --no-clobber (silently do not overwrite). Did you write “-d” as a suggestion? Christoph
