[BUG] Alt-Mirror does mirror if size file different   [Zeta]

Ok, maybe not a bug but it is a serious issue. :-)

I use extensively Alt-Mirror for backup and backup-of-backup purpose.
This function has its power but it's quirks too.
See http://www.ztw3.com/forum/forum_entry.php?id=121678

I had to interrupt a previous mirroring that went wrong by killing ZTree instance.
I reopened a new instance and relogged both source and target.
I mirrored them.
Then I realized both branches have different sizes (I always check them after mirroring).

It appears the file which copy was interrupted previously was incomplete, but Alt-Mirror again did not take into account the fact the source and target file have different sizes.

I copy the complete file over the incomplete one manually.

This let me think that Alt-Mirror doesn't take into account size file, and thus, it is not a fully-fledged mirroring.

Am I right ?
