Hmmm, according to my interpretation of the man page (I am on 3.1.1)
that is supposed to work however when I test using the "-/
/etc/passwd" example the / seems to have the same effect as commenting
the line. I get /etc/passwd copied whether the source is / or /etc.
Am I completely misunderstanding what the man page is telling me this
syntax does?
