* src/copy.c (copy_internal): Although we do create a backup of each
destination directory when in move mode, don't do that when copying.
Reported by Peter Breitenlohner, in
<http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/8616>.
* tests/cp/backup-dir: New file. Test for the above.
* src/copy.c (copy_internal): With -i, prompt even if the source
is a directory and the destination is not. This is required by
POSIX and gives the user a chance to bail out before failing.
* tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp-i.
* tests/cp/cp-i: New file.
* tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add i-5.
* tests/mv/i-5: New file.
where the first one names a directory and the second name ends in
a slash and doesn't exist. E.g., "mv dir B/", for nonexistent B,
now succeeds, once more. This reverts part of the 2004-06-27
change for 5.3.0.
* NEWS: Say the above.
* src/mv.c (target_directory_operand): Don't require (here)
that the target operand "look like" a directory. This change
pushes the test down to the rename syscall level, where a
"mv dir existing-non-dir/" will mistakenly succeed on older systems
that ignore trailing slashes in the rename destination argument.
* src/cp.c (target_directory_operand): Likewise, but for cp.
* tests/mv/trailing-slash: Exercise the above fixes.
* tests/cp/trailing-slash: New file.
* tests/cp/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add trailing-slash.
component of the source name is "." or "..".
Reported by Andreas Schwab in https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?17540.
* tests/cp/src-base-dot: New file. Test for the above fix.
* tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add src-base-dot.
Remove from CVS, since ./bootstrap generates them automatically.
* .cvsignore: Add INSTALL, Makefile.in, *.cache, *.lineno, *.log.
Remove more-specific entries. This catches files like configure.lineno.
* man/.cvsignore: Add Makefile.in.
* src/.cvsignore: Add Makefile.in.
Remove .version, dir.c, install, mvdir, stamp-v, vdir.c, version.c.
For .cvsignore file under the tests directory:
Add Makefile.in. Sort entries if necessary. Remove *.I, *.E,
*.X, *.O, *-tests, build-script, mk-script if they're never
created in this directory.
* build-aux/.cvsignore: New file.
* doc/.cvsignore: Add Makefile.in, coreutils.html, coreutils.pdf,
coreutils.ps, coreutils.tps. Remove coreutils.cm (dunno what it
is, but the makefile doesn't mention it). Remove coreutils.info
as it is subsumed by coreutils.info*.
* lib/.cvsignore: Add Makefile.in, getdate.tab.h.
Remove stat.c, sysexit.h.
* m4/.cvsignore: Remove Makefile, dev-ino.m4, glibc2.m4, intdiv0.m4,
inttypes-h.m4, inttypes-pri.m4, jm-glibc-io.m4, lcmessage.m4,
lock.m4, printf-posix.m4, same-inode.m4, size_max.m4,
uintmax_t.m4, ulonglong.m4, visibility.m4, xsize.m4. Many of
these are put in automatically by ../bootstrap, but that's a
bootstrap bug that I plan to fix shortly.
* po/.cvsignore: More ../bootstrap-related fixes, plus remove old
cruft. Add *.po, LINGUAS, Makevars. Remove *.cat, *.msg,
cat-id-dbl.c, messages.mo, stamp-cat-id.
when the file's apparent size is not a multiple of its block size.
* src/copy.c (copy_reg): Don't write a NUL before calling ftruncate.
For some file sizes, writing that single byte would unnecessarily
waste a few file blocks. That write may have been necessary in the
early days of Linux, but now, removing it should be safe.
Based on a patch by Alan Curry: <http://bugs.debian.org/370792>
* tests/cp/sparse: New test for the above.
* tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add sparse.
* tests/sparse-file: New file, essence factored out of...
* tests/du/8gb: ... here. Use the new script.
cp/same-file test fail.
* tests/envvar-check (vars): Add TIME_STYLE to the list.
* tests/cp/same-file: Revert last change.
Source the envvar-check script, to ensure that TIME_STYLE
settings don't affect these tests.
Make `cp --link --no-dereference' work also on systems where the
link system call cannot create a hard link to a symbolic link.
* src/copy.c (copy_internal) [LINK_FOLLOWS_SYMLINKS]: Don't use
the link syscall on a symlink when it would do the wrong thing.
