Changes in release 4.1:
[4.0y]
+* cp -p and mv now try to preserve uid even if you're not root, as per POSIX.2.
+ This affects behavior only on hosts that let you give files away via chmod.
* du would fail when given `.' or `..' followed by other command line arguments
* Using cp's short-named `-P' option evokes the warning that that the
meaning of `-P' will soon change. Use `--parents' instead.
