mv and cp -p ought to be more respectful time wise on M$ filesystems

[Dan Jacobson]

using mv or cp from my windows formatted other disk to my gnu/linux disk:
mv: preserving times for elec8-10-00.jpg: Operation not permitted
same for cp -p

I mean all those windows unzip utilities can set file times, what's the
big deal here?

By the way, in the cp info page:

`-p'
`--preserve'
     Preserve the original files' owner, group, permissions, and
     timestamps.  In the absence of this option, each destination file
     is created with the permissions of the corresponding source file,
     minus the bits set in the umask. *Note File permissions::.

it should say also about what happens with the timestams in the
absence case.

Also I didn't check but does it mention about filesystems where not
all capabilities are available, and if error codes in those cases [0, I
agree, not a full error].
