	On some systems (those with openat et al), when rm would fail to remove a symlink, it would fail with the misleading diagnostic, "Too many levels of symbolic links". * NEWS: Mention the bug fix. * src/remove.c (is_nondir_lstat): New function. (remove_entry): Use it to catch failed-to-remove symlink (and any other non-dir) here so that we don't fall through and try to treat it as directory, which -- with a symlink -- would provoke the bogus ELOOP failure. * tests/rm/fail-eacces: Add a test for the above. * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust offsets.
2007-09-15	More misc, test-related changes. (some to allow running tests as root)	Jim Meyering

2007-07-23	Update all copyright notices to use the newer form.	Jim Meyering

2007-07-10	Change "version 2" to "version 3" in all copyright notices.	Jim Meyering

2007-02-18	* tests/rm/fail-eacces: Skip this test when running as root.	Jim Meyering
	Reported by Matthew Woehlke.
2006-12-21	"rm -rf /etc/motd" (run by non-root) now prints a diagnostic.	Jim Meyering
	* src/remove.c (remove_entry): Handle EACCES for a non-directory, too. Karl Berry reported that a cross-partition "mv /etc/issue ~" failed with the um,... suboptimal diagnostic, "mv: cannot remove `/etc/issue': Not a directory". * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add fail-eacces. * tests/rm/fail-eacces: New file. * NEWS: Mention that both mv and rm are affected.
