I could be wrong but I always thought that it would not 'copy' over a file that was open or locked.
Agreed, I wouldn't my OS utilities silently violating filesystem rules.
Likewise, for trying to read files already open in non-readable mode.
I've always thought that it would copy the file if it was open or locked. Hmmm at least I thought it did.
Why would you expect or ever want an banal OS utility to override a file lock? It's not only a "gentelman's agreement" not to do so, but also a "police action" by the OS to enforce it (whether we are gentleman or not).
