2001-12-21Use notation compatible with SI and with IEC 60027-2.Jim Meyering
For example, --block-size=1MB now means --block-size=1000000, whereas --block-size=1MiB now means --block-size=1048576. A trailing `B' now means decimal, not binary; this is a silent change. -H or --si now outputs the trailing 'B', for consistency with this. Programs now output trailing 'K' (not 'k') to mean 1024. New df, du short option -B is short for --block-size. You can omit an integer `1' before a block size suffix, e.g. `df -BG' is equivalent to `df -B 1G' and to `df --block-size=1G'. Document the above. Remove documentation for obsolescent constructs MD, --kilobytes, -m or --megabytes.

2001-10-17(cp invocation): `cp --no-dereference' isJim Meyering
no longer equivalent to `cp -d'. `cp -d' is equivalent to `--no-dereference --preserve=links'. cp's -P option means --no-dereference, not --parents. Describe new optional argument to --preserve. Describe new option: --no-preserve=ATTRIBUTE_LIST.
