Please send future patches to mailing list, one patch per email. > 1. LN will support the -v (verbose) and -T (source is a file; error if it is > given a directory rather than make links inside it) flags. Applied, thanks > 2.

MV, RM, CP, MKDIR, RMDIR will now all support the -v (verbose) option. I added dummy support for -v, IOW: accept, but ignore -v. This would make any scripts which use -v for cosmetics to not spuriously fail. Do you really need those verbose messages? Please check my commits at http://git.busybox.net/busybox/log/ -- vda
