* src/copy.c (DO_CHOWN): Do not make a special case for non-root.
POSIX.2 requires that cp -p and mv attempt to set the uid of the
destination file, even if you're not root. This affects behavior
only on hosts that let you give files away via chmod.
* NEWS: Describe the above change.

Changes in release 4.1:
[4.0y]
* cp -p and mv now try to preserve uid even if you're not root, as per POSIX.2.
This affects behavior only on hosts that let you give files away via chmod.
* du would fail when given `.' or `..' followed by other command line arguments
* Using cp's short-named `-P' option evokes the warning that that the
meaning of `-P' will soon change. Use `--parents' instead.
