[Csync2] How to force-check all files?

[Ask Bjørn Hansen]

Hi,

We have a setup with two masters (generally we only update files on  
one of them) and about a dozen "slaves".

Our workflow is to update a file on one of the masters and then run  
"csync2 -x -v" to push them out everywhere.   I understand that using  
csync2 to basically update a bunch of read-only copies is sorta like  
fishing with dynamite, but it mostly works for us -- the actions and  
the configuration file is much easier to use than scripts running  
rsync and checking rsync logs to accomplish the same.

However - one thing never seems to work right for me.

When we install a new box I have to touch the files and force it to  
update them -- how do I avoid that?  Or more generally: How can I make  
csync2 check that it really does have all the files updated everywhere?
