-f, --copyfrom SOURCE_FILE
Copy attributes from file SOURCE_FILE (only updates destination attributes that are not null in SOURCE_FILE).
Proposal
When running --copyfrom with --mirror-null then NULL values on the SRC are nulled on the DST side too.
Design Rationale
This is handy when using osxmetadata --copyfrom /local/file /remote/file as a means of metadata sync to backup destinations which are ok for backing up your data but may loose metadata sometimes, hence the need so sync from time to time.
In situations where a Finder tag or comment gets purposely changed from e.g. "Current Marketing Material" to "", it would be nice if I could push those intentional removal with an enforcing flag like --mirror-null.
