+ * src/mv.c (apply_attributes): New function.
+ (copy_reg): Use apply_attributes instead of open-coding the pieces.
+ Now, failure to preserve file attributes does not cause mv to change
+ its exit status, and such failures elicit warning diagnostics. This
+ behavior is required by POSIX. Before, failure to preserve ownership
+ due to insufficient access was diagnosed only for root.
+ Prompted by a report from Bengt Martensson.
