2007-03-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+ Fix a test script not to claim an ext2 file system is of type xfs.
+ * tests/du/slink: When using df --local and df --type=TYPE,
+ test only the exit code. Don't bother with stdout.
+ Prompted by a report by Thomas Schwinge of an inaccurate diagnostic.
+
* gl/lib/savewd.c: Remove this file, since the savewd_save change
is now in gnulib. The other wasn't useful.
