* NEWS: cp -r --backup dir1 dir2, would rename an existing dir1/dir2
to dir1/dir2~.
* src/copy.c (copy_internal): Although we do create a backup of each
destination directory when in move mode, don't do that when copying.
Reported by Peter Breitenlohner, in
<http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/8616>.
* tests/cp/backup-dir: New file. Test for the above.
