[PATCH] doc: mention cp's new support for NFSv4 ACLs


From: Jim Meyering
Subject: [PATCH] doc: mention cp's new support for NFSv4 ACLs
Date: Wed, 07 Sep 2011 17:34:25 +0200

This is the NEWS change that belongs with yesterday's
"build: update gnulib submodule to latest" commit.

At first I was going to call this a bug fix, but couldn't
really say when the bug was introduced, since NFSv4 ACLs
are relatively new.  So I'm calling it an "Improvement".

I noticed today that I have not yet pushed that gnulib-updating
commit, even though it is in the snapshot I did publish.

Opinions on whether to amend that commit to include this
NEWS update before I push?  I'm tempted, since snapshots
don't really matter once the release is made, while keeping
documentation like this together with the associated change
may be worth something in the long run.
