I am afraid I have not found a good method for that yet.  Simply
deleting all files that do not have a "publish" attribute but do exist
on the server is too dangerous.  You can easily delete log files, for
example.  Listing the file that are not to be deleted would be possible,
but that takes some effort and you might make mistakes, causing nasty
problems.

This is not only a question of how to implement it, there is also the
issue whether the user wants previously uploaded files to be deleted or
not.  I have at least one situation where I use the recipe just to
upload new files without worrying about what was uploaded previously.

Compare the targets used for version control: the "commit" target
checks in changed files and adds new files, while the "revise" target
also deletes files.

Suggestions are welcome.

What happens is that the version number of the Aap program that is
currently running is used to set the version number.  Confusing, isn't
it?  I'll fix that.  For the time being you can use "./aap install".
