It was me,

It's hard to keep secret that I suspected that. :-))

Ah, I completely misunderstood your bug report.

No problem, that's why I tried to reply.

I've moved this back to incoming so I'll remember to deal with it. I'm not 100% sure what the solution should be though.

Possibility#1: create a backup file/directory when overwriting

Possibility#2: keep MD5/CRC/whatever of the 'original' file thus be able to detect whether it was modified or not
