Given that the current documentation does not mention the behaviour of append in the mirror application, it should be updated to reflect the changes introduced by Bug 254747. Additionally, Bug 250527 added the arguments "-verbose" and "-ignoreErrors". these too should be documented.
Andrew, could you please look into updating the doc. You can find the doc in CVS, in the repository /cvsroot/eclipse Load the plug-in org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv and find the document guide/p2_mirror.html There is also likely something on the wiki.
I've edited the mirror applications' wiki page at http://wiki.eclipse.org/Equinox_p2_Repository_Mirroring with the mirror application's arguments as of the time of posting. I've also updated the file Pascal asked me to look at in my workspace. I can't submit anything yet as I'm waiting for solutions to Bug 254747 and Bug 255678 which will both modify the arguments used by the mirror application.
