[0] http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=15806Okay, so we're leaving the ground of the GNU extension --link here.
Sure. It's a completely separate matter, just with some interactions (will follow-up on that report as soon as I've enough time: did more researches but as you noticed the commit history is pretty long and not always so linear).
Anyway, I belief that doing a change aside from this --link patch would be quite delicate.
I agree. My point here is that I would avoid modifying the behaviour of '-r' (even if it's considered "wrong") while working on '--link', as imo
- if (x.recursive) + if (x.recursive && ! x.hard_link)
would do. Well... and also that dereference settings in cp should be reorder a bit (but again it doesn't belong here).
Ciao, Gian Piero.
