Hi.

When I read explanation of -f option for dbupdate, it was not clear to
me what means "normally only updates new files". What means "new" in
this context. Are missing files new or outdated are new too?

Proposed patch for clarification. I also tuned -n option, however -n was
clear for me, so it can stay as is.
