touch: remove support for --file=REF_FILE option
* src/touch.c (main): Remove support for the deprecated, long-named --file option, which is an alternate name for --reference (-r). That option was undocumented with the arrival of --reference, in the 1995-10-29 commit, 8b92864e1d. Since the 2009-02-09 commit, ed85df444a, use of --file has elicited a warning. Not only was this code due for removal, but the long-name-use-detecting code was buggy in that it would use a stale or uninitialized "long_idx", as reported by Robin H. Johnson in http://bugs.gentoo.org/322421. * NEWS (Changes in behavior): Mention it.
