Problem

To obtain a fresh zip file just like as tar does, do I have to perform before executing ?

Error Output

$ mkdir foo; touch foo/bar
$ zip -r foo.zip foo
  adding: foo/ (stored 0%)
  adding: foo/bar (stored 0%)
$ rm foo/bar; touch foo/baz
$ zip -r foo.zip foo
  adding: foo/ (stored 0%)
  adding: foo/baz (stored 0%)

Low Risk

Use the -FS option to "file sync" This will add any new files in the folder to the zip, and delete any files from the zip that aren't in the folder.
