>Description:
	
find . -print | cpio -pdm /some/where

should replicate all files under . to /some/where, except if the file
under the destination is newer.  The -u option can be used to force
the copy.

That's how cpio has always worked and the man page in 2.0 confirms it.

That's not how cpio in 2.0 works though.  Without the -u option, copies
are skipped if the target file *exists*.
