confsync should have "force" capability

Reported by: blee Owned by: blee
Priority: major Milestone: confman-1.9.3
Component: confsync Version: 1.9.1b

Description

By default, confsync will exit silently when the system is up to date. There should be a way to force a confsync run, e.g. with a command-line argument, that bypasses this check. This is useful when files are known to have been modified on the live filesystem.

What would the semantics of force be?

Should it "force on equal" or also allow "force on less than"?

The tarballs are revisioned and the current check for skipping is system
-ge. We could change it to -eq on force? We probably don't want to
allow rolling a stale tarball, even if force is specified, right?

(In [422]) Implement force capability (-f) for confsync. This option cannot be
used to sync a tar revision less than the system revision.
