2000-01-09This affects cp, install, and mv.Jim Meyering
(copy_internal): When making backup files in verbose mode, 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 line by itself.
1999-12-05Revert the previous change.Jim Meyering
(copy_internal): In move mode, if the rename attempt fails, then unlink any existing destination file. This makes a cross-device `mv' more consistent with the intra-device behavior. This change is required by POSIX to make a cross-device move act with semantics similar to those of the rename syscall. For example now `mv' can move a file onto a symlink to itself when that symlink is on a separate partition. With fileutils-4.0j, it would fail with a diagnostic saying they were the same file. Reported by Bruno Haible.
1999-12-04(copy_internal): Be consistent with intra-device behaviorJim Meyering
and *do* allow `mv' to move a file onto a symlink to itself when that symlink is on a separate partition. With fileutils-4.0j, it would fail with a diagnostic saying they were the same file. Reported by Bruno Haible.
1999-11-11(copy_internal): Treat src and dest as the `same' inJim Meyering
`mv src symlink-to-src' when src and dest are on different partitions. Otherwise, that `mv' command would silently remove `src'. Reported by Michael Stone.
1999-11-05Use HAVE_STRUCT_STAT_ST_BLOCKS, not deprecated HAVE_ST_BLOCKS.Jim Meyering
1999-08-08(copy_dir): Remove cast of savedir arg.Jim Meyering
1999-05-23(copy_internal): Don't apply the umask in move_mode.Jim Meyering
Otherwise, `mv' would not preserve the permissions when copying between partitions. Reported by David Godfrey
1999-05-23Remove today's earlier misguided attempts.Jim Meyering
Add a single condition to the existing sameness test.
1999-05-23Include same.h.Jim Meyering
(copy_internal): Qualify SAME_INODE test with (link-count == 1 || same_name(...)).
1999-05-23(copy_internal): Make it so `mv -f FILE FILE' does not remove FILE.Jim Meyering
Based on a patch from Chris Yeo.
1999-04-30(copy_internal): Move the one-file-system test so thatJim Meyering
it follows the `if (new_dst || !S_ISDIR (dst_sb.st_mode))' block. Prior to this change, `cp --one-file-system' would traverse a file- system boundary if the destination directory existed. From thospel@mail.dma.be.
1999-04-30(copy_internal): Don't make `mv foo symlink-to-foo' fail.Jim Meyering
That is, even though source and destination are `the same,' don't fail if the destination is a symlink. From Peter Samuelson.
1999-04-26(copy_reg, copy_internal): Use proper mode_t types and macros.Jim Meyering
Don't assume the traditional Unix values for mode bits.
1999-02-16update copyright datesJim Meyering
1999-01-31(copy_internal): Describe any backup-related renamingJim Meyering
operations when in verbose mode. (copy_internal): Likewise. Based on changes from Marty Leisner.
1999-01-11(copy_internal): Handle two more values of errno fromJim Meyering
failed rename of a directory into a subdirectory of itself.
1998-12-18(copy_internal): Remove errnoeous `%s: ' prefixJim Meyering
from format string. From Michiel Bacchiani.
1998-12-07Use dir_name, not dirname. Include dirname.h.Jim Meyering
1998-11-30(copy_internal): Remove earlier (but less effective)Jim Meyering
test for move/copy-into-self. Instead, deduce the move-into-self condition from errno==EINVAL after a failed rename.
1998-09-28(copy_internal): Do honor `n' reply in move-mode.Jim Meyering
Otherwise, `touch a b; echo n|mv -i a b' would remove b. From Bernd Leibing.
1998-09-27(copy_internal): Don't preserve hard-linked directoriesJim Meyering
to avoid damaging the destination filesystem when copying from a Netapp snapshot directory. With code from Kjetil Torgrim Hollstein and Paul Eggert.
1998-08-15(copy_internal) [one-file-system]: Do copy mount pointJim Meyering
directories (but none of their entries). This makes `cp --one-file-system' work the same way tar does. From Marty Leisner.
1998-08-02(copy_internal): Compare time stamps with subsecond resolution if available.Jim Meyering
1998-07-25(SAME_INODE): Remove definition.Jim Meyering
1998-07-19(copy_internal): Add another exclusion from theJim Meyering
sameness test: when --force has been specified, the destination is unlinked before any copy. (copy_internal): Add yet another: when both src and dest are symlinks.
1998-07-03(copy_internal): Rename variable and reverse sense of testsJim Meyering
to make the code a little clearer.
1998-07-03(SAME_INODE): New macro.Jim Meyering
Use it to replace open-coded equivalents.
1998-07-03(copy_internal): Try harder identifying a relativeJim Meyering
symbolic link in the current directory. From Andreas Schwab.
1998-07-03(copy_internal): Don't skip test for same file if creating a hardlinkJim Meyering
from symlink over a non-symlink while making backups.
1998-07-03(copy_internal): Don't call chown on a symlink.Jim Meyering
1998-06-27(copy_internal): Fix it so hard-link test is no longer hidden insideJim Meyering
big if-(backup_type == none) block.
1998-06-27(copy_reg): Detect identical source and dest here.Jim Meyering
(copy_internal): Make the test symmetric.
1998-05-13(copy_internal): Plug a small leak.Jim Meyering
1998-05-11(copy_internal): Use new move_mode member.Jim Meyering
Add parameter. (copy): Add parameter.
1998-05-10(new_nondir_mode): New function. Use where appropriate.Jim Meyering
Use more-specific preserve_* members in place of removed `preserve'. (copy_internal): Honor failed_unlink_is_fatal.
1998-03-28Add copyright.Jim Meyering
1998-03-15Use #if, not #ifdef with HAVE_ macros.Jim Meyering
Use #if !, not #ifndef with HAVE_ macros.
1998-03-13(copy_dir): Add new parameter, copy_into_self, and set it.Jim Meyering
(copy_internal): Likewise. (copy): Likewise. Update all callers.
1998-01-25(DO_CHOWN): Don't fail for non-root when chown fails dueJim Meyering
not only to lack of permission (EPERM), but also to lack of support (EINVAL). Reported by Bengt Martensson.
1998-01-22(copy_internal): Use x->backup_type, not the global.Jim Meyering
(valid_options): Use VALID_BACKUP_TYPE and VALID_SPARSE_MODE.

1997-12-16s/__P/PARAMS/gJim Meyering
1997-11-30(copy_reg): Store file size as off_t, not long.Jim Meyering
Do not assume st_size has been normalized to 512 byte blocks, or that it fits in size_t after dividing by the blocksize.
1997-11-12(copy_dir): Use path_concat rather than open-coding it.Jim Meyering
