* tests/Makefile.am.in (PATH): Prepend $(VG_PATH_PREFIX), so that
it propagates to the derived Makefile.am files.
($(srcdir)/Makefile.am): Mark generated .am files as read-only,
so we don't mistakenly edit them again.
* tests/cut/Makefile.am: Regenerate.
* tests/head/Makefile.am: Likewise.
* tests/join/Makefile.am: Likewise.

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.
no output. This change was in 6.0 but inadvertently unmentioned.
* doc/coreutils.texi (df invocation): df exits nonzero if it outpus
nothing.
* src/df.c (file_systems_processed): Renamed from n_valid_args, and now
a boolean.
(show_dev): Don't set it until we actually output something.
Print the header if this is the first output.
(main): Don't print a header, as that is now show_dev's job.
* tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add df.
* tests/misc/df: New file.
failure that this test checks for (stat/dirent inode mismatch at
a mount point), so continue to give a diagnostic about the failure,
but don't actually count it as a failure.
* src/ls.c (print_long_format): Be careful to increment P by the
appropriate amount, even when inode_number_width and nlink_width
are zero.
* tests/ls/stat-failed: Test for the above.
non-command-line file provokes an exit status of 1, not 0.
Say "cannot access" rather than "cannot stat".
* tests/ls/stat-failed: New file/test, for the above.
* tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-failed.
stat for a symlink, even though it wasn't always needed.
In some cases, that unnecessary stat would cause ls to fail.
* src/ls.c (gobble_file): Don't treat symlinks specially (in
requiring a stat syscall). Remove the offending exclusion.
* NEWS: Mention the fix.
* tests/ls/stat-dtype: New file/test, for the above fix.
Also exercises the new df feature, below.
(set -x when VERBOSE=yes) when stderr is redirected before stdout
causing shell tracing of the stdout redirection to be written to
the stderr file. Avoid problem and test failure on HP-UX by
redirecting stderr last.
* tests/dd/unblock-sync: Order shell file redirections for
stderr and stdout in the common style.
tests/acl: Likewise.
