Dear Colin:

If you want to have the latest one to be in the flattened
destination directory, I suggest the use of /SGNo (the last
character is a lowercase OH rather than zero --- but XXCOPY
switches are case-insensitive).

My suggestion for you is:

xxcopy \src\ \dst\ /SGNo /RC /ED /PD0

/SGNo ignores if the file has the same or older timestamp
than what is in the destination already. It overwrites only
when the file is newer than what is already there.
