Thats open source for ya. Remember I just released ZSyncer for the heck of
it from an internal project where it works just fine...

The same as it always does. It will replace the copy on the destination
server with the one on your source server.

Nope, it will replace the copy on the destination server with the one on
your source server.

It will replace the copy on the destination... etc. A by product of this
sync is to reset the date.
