AWS S3 versioning nuances

Oh crap, I just noticed that @awscloud versioning duplicates the file even if the file is exactly the same. DOH! https://t.co/xLDGOJryO0

HOWEVER If you use sync then the file will not be replaced, unless it has changed!

aws --profile jewel s3 sync bar s3://s3test.jptdev.com/

Unfortunately there is no way to be notified if a file has been replaced AFAICT!

There is a S3 event RRSObjectLost which is quite interesting.
