sometimes i don't care about the owner:group:modes:timestamp
example /etc/ssh/sshd_config. I just want to copy my content
to /etc/ssh/sshd_config, but owner, group and modes should be kept.
Of course i can add -m but then i need to know the correct permissions and
ownership of each file i want to change.
I just want to copy a new file and KEEP the original file modes and
ownerships. with fcopy you have -m -M or modes from source file.
but It would be nice to have
-k --keep-modes[=owner,group,modes,time]
to keep all or named file stats from the original file
i can write a patch if it sounds reasonable.
kind regards
Janning
