Jim Meyering 77da73c754 maint: update all copyright year number ranges
Run "make update-copyright", but then also run this,
  perl -pi -e 's/2\d\d\d-//' tests/sample-test
to make that one script use the single most recent year number.

# Demonstrate that when moving a symlink onto a hardlink-to-that-symlink, the
# source symlink is removed. Depending on your kernel (e.g., Linux, Solaris,
# but not NetBSD), prior to coreutils-8.16, the mv would successfully perform
# a no-op. I.e., surprisingly, mv s1 s2 would succeed, yet fail to remove s1.
