+ * NEWS: sort -t '\0' now uses a NUL tab.
+ sort option order no longer matters, unless POSIX requires it.
+ * doc/coreutils.texi (sort invocation): -d now overrides -i.
+ "whitespace" -> "blanks"; "whitespace" isn't correct.
+ -t '\0' now specifies a NUL tab.
+ * src/sort.c (usage): Say "blanks" instead of "whitespace",
+ Similar fixes for many comments.
+ (TAB_DEFAULT): New constant, so that we can support NUL as
+ the field separator.
+ (tab): Now int, not char. Initialize to TAB_DEFAULT.
+ (specify_sort_size): If multiple sizes are specified, use the largest.
+ (begfield, limfield): Support NUL tab char.
+ (set_ordering): Do not let -i override -d.
+ (main): Report an error if incompatible -o or -t options are given.
+ Report an error for "-t ''". Allow "-t '\0'" to specify a NUL tab.

+ * src/tail.c (pipe_lines): Don't truncate return value from safe_read.
+ * src/head.c (elide_tail_lines_pipe): Likewise.

When source and destination arguments refer to the same file, reside
on a partition (e.g. VFAT) on which distinct names may refer to the
same directory entry (often due to variations in case), and when the
- link count for the file is 1, mv no longer unlinks the file.
- FIXME: this is a band-aid fix. If the file happens to have a link
- count of 2 or greater, mv will still unlink it. Although that is
- not possible on VFAT, it is possible on other offending file systems.
+ link count for the file is 1, mv no longer unlinks the file. Instead,
+ it gives the expected diagnostic that the source and destination are
+ the same. WARNING: this is an incomplete fix. If the file happens
+ to have a link count of 2 or greater, mv will still unlink it.
+ Although that is not possible on VFAT, it is possible on other file
+ system types, e.g., ntfs, hpfs, and umsdos.
* src/copy.c (same_file_ok): Invoke same_name (which might still
return false for names that refer to the same directory entry)
only if the link count is 2 or more.
