Uh, you mean the '-o' option, not '-k'; '-k' means 'keep; don't delete
stuff sup says to delete'.  '-o' means 'old' (for some reason), but
what it translates to is "check date and timestamps of files against
the supdate and request those files".

-f means 'fake'; don't really update, just say what it WOULD do if
you were giving it license to do so.
