* 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.
