Changes in release 4.1:
+[4.0n]
+* cp, install, ln, and mv: when making backup files in verbose mode, these
+ commands now print the backup file name on the same line as the rest of the
+ information, e.g., `a -> b (backup: b.~13~)' rather than on a separate line
+ as all but ln used to do. ln didn't output the backup file name at all.
[4.0m]
* mv accepts new option: --strip-trailing-slashes (soon, many other
programs will, too)
