  I think change_dir() could create problems in copy-pass mode. Because in 
src/copypass.c 

  output_name.ds_string = directory_name + '/' + input_name.ds_string

where directory_name = argv[index] in src/main.c, which could be different from 
change_directory_option.

I git cloned it today, it still has enough glitches. Make fails with

$ make
Making all in doc
Making all in headers
Making all in gnu
Making all in lib
make[3]: *** No rule to make target `exit.o', needed by `libpax.a'.  Stop.
make[2]: *** [all] Error 2
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2

After bootstrap, rmt directory and rmt/Makefile.in did not exist, I think 
configure failed for that. Let me know if this is right

  1. $ git clone git://git.savannah.gnu.org/cpio.git cpio
  2. $ cd cpio
  3. $ ./bootstrap
  4. $ ./configure
  5. $ make


Thanks.
