In copying them, +# while preserving links, the initial copy must succeed, the attempt +# to create the second file via `link' must fail, and the final `link' +# (to create the third) must succeed. Before the corresponding fix, +# the first and third destination file would not be linked. +# +# Note that this is nominally a test of `cp', yet it is in the tests/mv +# directory, because it requires use of the --preserve=link option that +# mv enables by default. if test "$VERBOSE" = yes; then set -x |
