Public bug reported:
$ mkdir ja.utf-8
$ ln -s ja.utf-8/ ja
$ cp --reflink -dp --parents ja x
$ ls x
x@
$ ls -lh x
lrwxrwxrwx 1 jak jak 9 Jul 11 07:04 x@ -> ja.utf-8/
$ rm -r x
$ mkdir x
$ cp --reflink -dp --parents ja x
cp: cannot create symlink 'x' to 'ja.utf-8': File exists (os error 17)
$ gnucp --reflink -dp --parents ja x
$ ls x
ja@
In particular if we do
$ rm -r x
$ gnucp --reflink -dp --parents ja x
gnucp: with --parents, the destination must be a directory
Try 'gnucp --help' for more information.
