[EP-tech] import "feature"

Dear all,

as you know i'm testing 3.3.10.
Our repository is a "read-only" repository : all records are imported from another internal software used to collect publication records from authors. The importing method is via batch file XML. When i implemented the past repository on 3.2.4 i noticed a strange behaviour with import program, it seemed not to update records : --update parameter didn't work when the record was already present. I resolved deleting and importing new records also per records already present. Now with 3.3.10 version the situation seems to be similar: having more experience with eprints source i debugged the import program again and i think i'm resolving the problem with this little patch.

What do you think about ? Am i missed something ? Is it acceptable ?

The import program is called with this parameters :
~/bin/import "EPRINTS_REPOSITORY" --force --verbose --enable-web-imports --enable-import-fields --update archive XML "EPRINTS_XML" 

Best regards,
Paolo Tealdi
