Yes, i am using safe mode.  We are two webmasters at this site, so that
safe mode is mandatory.

I have tested an old sitecopy 0.11.4, but if i understand the source
code, this should also happen with version 0.15.1.

The best performance would be: Fetch the directory listing via ls -laR,
remove files which are excluded, and perform MDTM commands only on the
remaining files.  sitecopy currently performs MDTM commands on every
(possibly excluded) file, and excludes the files later... :-(
