+ Allow `cp -d -u' to copy one symlink onto another that's identical.
+ * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Change the || to ^ in the big sameness
+ test, so copying one symlink onto another, identical one doesn't fail
+ here.
+ If the symlink call fails, don't report the failure if the destination
+ already exists and is a symlink pointing to the proper name.
* tests/cp/slink-2-slink: New test.
* tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add slink-2-slink.
+ * tests/cp/same-file: Adapt to fit new semantics of `cp -d'.
