Comment(by jhpalmieri):
Regarding the use of `cp -pr`, on OS X, the man page for cp (from "BSD
General Commands Manual") says
{{{
COMPATIBILITY
Historic versions of the cp utility had a -r option. This
implementation supports that
option; however, its use is strongly discouraged, as it does not
correctly copy special
files, symbolic links, or fifo's.
}}}
It would be better to use `cp -pR`, I think. (This also seems consistent
with what I can find on the internet about POSIX standard options for cp.)
