2012-08-30	tests: add .sh and .pl suffixes to shell and perl tests, respectively	Stefano Lattarini
	Not only this shrinks the size of the generated Makefile (from > 6300 lines to ~3000), but will allow further simplifications in future changes. * tests/Makefile.am (TEST_EXTENSIONS): Add '.sh' and '.pl'. (PL_LOG_COMPILER, SH_LOG_COMPILER): New, still defined simply to $(LOG_COMPILER) for the time being. (TESTS, root_tests): Adjust as described. * All tests: Rename as described.
2012-02-12	mv: "mv A B" would sometimes succeed, yet A would remain, ...	Jim Meyering
	But only when both A and B were hard links to the same symlink. * src/copy.c (same_file_ok): Handle another special case: the one in which we are moving a symlink onto a hard link to itself. In this case, we must explicitly tell the caller to unlink the source file. Otherwise, at least the linux-3.x kernel rename function would do nothing, as mandated by POSIX 2008. * tests/mv/symlink-onto-hardlink-to-self: New test. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.
