So by using switch you make it look like a file so it won't try to
update its contents, then you switch it back to a directory and exclude
/ depth empty it.
Would that switch call need the --relocate flag?
That solves half of the problem, I realize my example tree probably
wasn't extensive enough. The /b/media and /d/media subfolders are like 3
and 4 folders down in the tree, so its more like /b/1/2/3/media, .... It
would be ideal to not have to check out --depth empty all the parents
directories. I suppose I should just checkout out those exact
directories in tmp and then move them into the appropriate location?
Sorry for not getting that clear,
