* NEWS: Remove the now-untrue statement about cp vs. dangling symlinks
Change release procedure: tag *before* running e.g., "make stable".
* Makefile.maint (vc-dist): Don't tag. Now, you must apply the tag
before running "make beta", "make stable", etc.

cp no longer fails to write through a dangling symlink
[bug introduced in coreutils-6.7]. cp --parents no
longer mishandles symlinks to directories in file name
components in the source, e.g., "cp --parents symlink/a/b
d" no longer fails. Also, 'cp' no longer considers a
destination symlink to be the same as the referenced file when
copying links or making backups. For example, if SYM is a symlink
to FILE, "cp -l FILE SYM" now reports an error instead of silently
doing nothing. The behavior of 'cp' is now better documented when
the destination is a symlink.
