0ba481441f (General output formatting): Reflect option name change:
s/--dereference-command-line/--dereference-command-line-symlink-to-dir/.

specified on the command line.

c6f5b4e383 Add support for locale-specific size indications (e.g.,
thousands-separators) and for explicit size suffixes on output.

(Block size): Say that:
This affects display format as well as block size.
Fractional block counts are rounded up.
ls file size blocksize defaults to 1.
A block size spec preceded by ' generates thousands separators.
A suffix without a preceding integer generates suffixes.
(tail invocation): 32k -> 32 KiB.
(What information is listed): ls -h is now equivalent to
ls --block-size=human, and ls -H is now equivalent to
ls --block-size=si.  Displayed file size is now always affected by
--block-size.

  127 if nohup failed or if command was not found.

47c5a14bad Make cp -r equivalent to cp -R. Add a new cp option --copy-contents
for people who want to emulate the traditional (and rarely desirable)
cp -r behavior.

(cp invocation): Document this.
Fix some related minor bugs: --no-dereference is no longer
equivalent to -d, and --archive (-a) can override the other
symlink options.  Warn that cp -R is not portable on symbolic
links unless you also specify -P.
