* NEWS: --preserve-root now works with chgrp, chmod, and chown.
* src/chmod.c (process_file): Do honor the --preserve-root option.
* src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Likewise, but here, also
handle the case in which a traversal would go "through" a symlink
to root. Reported by Matthew M. Boedicker
* tests/chown/preserve-root: Test for the above.
* tests/chown/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add preserve-root.
