When synchronizing a local TL against the server TL, _many_ tools (especially FTP programs) do NOT compare contents of files, but only sizes. Checking file times doesn't work very well, because of different times on server and local system etc.

I suggest to force a change in the file size of 'localconfig.php' (and other similar files) whenever it is written to. E.g. by means of a special comment added to/removed from, until the file size is different.

That way even simple minded synch tools can be aware of the change and note the user.

Best regards, Georg
