You can use <uptodate> to select the newer files.

Or Ant-Contrib's <outofdate>, which I find more convenient, since
avoids having multiple targets, but it adds a dependency. --DD

incremental backup works.

The <date> selector in a <fileset> looks like the logical solution, but
it appears to only use a date-time string and not a reference file to
specify the date.

Is there a way to use the date-time of a reference file, instead of a
string, for the <date> selector?
Is there a way to set a property with the date-time of a reference file
so that the property can be passed to a <date> selector?
Is there another way to accomplish my goal, such as a way to use
<depend> with a single reference file?
