+ Do it only when this option is used. Invoking sync can be very

User-visible changes in release 3.10:
+* Fix bug in cp that made the commands `mkdir dir; touch foo; cp -P foo dir'
+ incorrectly change the permissions on directory, dir.
+* df accepts a new option, --sync, that may ensure it reports more up to
+ date usage information. df used to always call sync, but the value of so
+ doing is not apparent, and the drawback (it makes df very slow sometimes)
+ is glaring.
* ls accepts a new option, --dired, that makes emacs' dired mode more efficient
* skeletal texinfo documentation (mainly just the `invoking' nodes)
* ln accepts a new option: --no-dereference (-n). With this option,
