look at http://plan9.aichi-u.ac.jp/netlib/cmd/cpdir/

The following is a part of README file.

Usage: cpdir [-vugRm]  [-l list] source destination [path ...]
Options and arguments:
        -v: verbose
        -u: copy owner info
        -g: copy group info
        -R: remove redundant files and directories
        -m: merge
        -l list:
                path list to be processed. path list must be a path
per line.
        source:
                source dir from which copy is made.
        destination:
                destination dir in which copy is made.
        path ... : pathes in source to be processed.

Function:
        `cpdir' makes effort to make a copy of source/path
        in destination/path.
        `cpdir' copies only those files that are out of date.
        `cpdir' tries to preserve the following info.:
        - contents (judged from modification time)
        - modification time
        - permissions
        - group (under -g option)
        - owner if possible. (under -u option)
        and under -R option, `cpdir' removes files and directories
        in destination/path
        that are non-existent in source/path.
