Probably because, when I first learned to do this stuff, the system I used did have a -a option to cp, but did have rsync installed. And now it's more muscle memory than anything.

Also, one can do: find . -depth | grep -v filter | cpio And filter out some troublesome files. mrc -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
