From 2a01141018637fc06604335aea673dff95efd033 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paul Eggert Date: Wed, 20 Sep 2006 17:32:14 +0000 Subject: * NEWS: Document fix for cp -i and mv -i. * src/copy.c (copy_internal): With -i, prompt even if the source is a directory and the destination is not. This is required by POSIX and gives the user a chance to bail out before failing. * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp-i. * tests/cp/cp-i: New file. * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add i-5. * tests/mv/i-5: New file. --- NEWS | 2 ++ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) (limited to 'NEWS') diff --git a/NEWS b/NEWS index 21dcc4cf6..62e516316 100644 --- a/NEWS +++ b/NEWS @@ -9,6 +9,8 @@ GNU coreutils NEWS -*- outline -*- preceding command line argument.
