** New features
+ chgrp, chmod, chown, chcon, du, rm: now all display linear performance,
+ even when operating on million-entry directories on ext3 and ext4 file
+ systems. Before, they would exhibit O(N^2) performance, due to linear
+ per-entry seek time cost when operating on entries in readdir order.
+ Rm was improved directly, while the others inherit the improvement
+ from the newer version of fts in gnulib.

comm now verifies that the inputs are in sorted order. This check can
be turned off with the --nocheck-order option.
