Prashant Golash commented on HADOOP-15211:
------------------------------------------
I played around a bit more and it looks that I was wrong in my understanding.
-update and -overwrite does not prevent the user from having an <extra_file> at
target location which is not in the source. As such, preserving root
permissions would be asking to preserve permissions even for the <extra_files>.
Verified this in CopyCommitter.java that this behavior is intentional
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
//
// Skip the root folder when syncOrOverwrite is true.
//
if (targetRoot.equals(targetFile) && syncOrOverwrite) continue;
