The -depth option for find does not cause it to skip directories,
as some earlier articles stated, it causes it to do a depth
first search of the tree, i.e. the output looks like
./foo
./bar
.
Presumably, this can be used to change permissions on a directory
after all the files and subdirectories have been created. This
allows a mode 555 directory to be properly copied:
-r--r--r-- ./foo
-r--r--r-- ./bar
dr-xr-xr-x .
