'force' goes in the options array, not on its own.

"Should" go to options. But force=y also works with "updatesync-many". "force=y" style is actually more frequently used:

# find core extra -maxdepth 3 -name PKGBUILD -print0|xargs -0 egrep '^[[:space:]]*options=.*force'|wc -l
16

# find core extra -maxdepth 3 -name PKGBUILD -print0|xargs -0 egrep '^[[:space:]]*force='|wc -l
27

Yeah, sure. But it is also the older way (thus the reason you probably
see it more), and updatesync-many is a POS tool that should be
rewritten to use repo-add. Of course, if anyone else wants to take
this task off my plate I'd appreciate it...

My plate is still full of turkey and gravy.

Hmm, how often do they release? I always do these things based on feel
- rephrased, I wouldn't worry about it until 0.3.X or whatever is
released. At _that_ point you should reevaluate
