That is correct, but having failed to apply basic shortcut logic with
parentheses and '-o', my search was painfully slow when testing due to
using only a single subtype (hint: follow your own requirements).
Hence, I presumed early on that -exec was the wrong way to go and
chased other rabbit trails.

That works for me as well; I knew I had to be a few sandwiches short!
It also has the added benefit of being able to embed update statements
per VCS type, so I can cron this nicely and forget about it.  Thanks!
