Okay, 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.
