2011-06-23set set*id bits only if the target did not exist and -p was not used;Otto Moerbeek
from netbsd, prompted by Jesus Sanchez. ok miller@
2011-06-15consistently specify that -f and -i override previous options in eachTed Unangst
option's description. jmc points out this works better than deferring such information to a post-options sentence.
2011-06-15the last of -f or -i is the lucky winner. problem noticed by jan stary.Ted Unangst
text copied from mv, as noticed by otto.
2010-09-03add an EXIT STATUS section for /bin;Jason McIntyre
2009-10-28rcsid[] and sccsid[] and copyright[] are essentially unmaintained (andTheo de Raadt
unmaintainable). these days, people use source. these id's do not provide any benefit, and do hurt the small install media (the 33,000 line diff is essentially mechanical) ok with the idea millert, ok dms

copyrights say "acknowledgement", not "acknowledgment". You cannot just go changing the text of a license willy-nilly.

2003-01-06Set directory mode/user/times on the post-order pass, not pre-order.Todd C. Miller
Fixes a problem with "cp -R" (and probably cp -p) with directories that do not grant the owner write permission. However, we need to know whether or not we created the directory ourselves so stash that fact in fts_pointer (treat it as a boolean) but add a macro to access it for readability. This also allows me to remove the duplicated file times setting code for "cp -p". Closes PR 3058; deraadt@ OK
