- * Makefile.maint: Use -include, not `include' for aclocal-files.
+1998-03-13 Jim Meyering <meyering@eng.ascend.com>
+
+ * src/remove.c: Use `virtual memory exhausted' message, not
+ `Memory exhausted' to be consistent with the majority of other
+ such messages.
+ Say `removing all...', not `removing any...'.
+ * src/rmdir.c (remove_parents): Be consistent with documentation of
+ --verbose option and with remove.c in saying `removing...' before
+ the operation is attempted.
+ (main): Likewise.
+ Suggestions from Santiago Vila.
+
+ * src/copy.c (copy_dir): Add new parameter, copy_into_self, and set it.
+ (copy_internal): Likewise.
+ (copy): Likewise.
+ Update all callers.
+ * src/cp.c (do_copy): Add unused arg in calls to copy.
+ * src/mv.c (do_move): Add &copy_into_self arg in call to copy.
+ Don't remove source directory when copy_into_self is nonzero.
+ Reported by Arne Henrik Juul.

+
+ * Running this command
+ mkdir j;touch k; ./mv j k j
+ (correctly) copies j into j/j and moves k to j/k,
+ but then it removes `j' and you're left with nothing.
+ Not nice, eh?
+
+ The fix is simple in concept: don't remove a source directory
+ if it is a parent of (or the same as) the destination directory.
+ I don't think POSIX discusses this case.

+
+ * userspec.c (parse_user_spec) [__DJGPP__]: Make function know
+ about any arbitrary user and group by pretending to be the user
+ and to belong to the group specified in `spec_arg' argument.
+
+ * idcache.c (getuidbyname) [__DJGPP__]: Make function know about
+ any arbitrary user name.
+ (getgidbyname) [__DJGPP__]: Make function know about any arbitrary
+ group name.
