Hi,
I saw a discussion about 'cp -n A B' now exiting with 9.2 when B exists.
That seems to have changed with v9.1-133-g7a69df889.
I don't question that change, but shouldn't the tool output an error diagnostic
if it exits with an error?
$ cp -n A B; echo $?
1
It doesn't even give a hint with -v or --debug:
$ cp -nvvv A B; echo $?
1
$ cp -n --debug A B; echo $?
1
Is that okay?
Have a nice day,
Berny
