I'm on a system with cp 8.21, and when I do `cp -Ll` or `cp -Ls` on a
symlink, it hardlinks (-Ll) or symlinks (-Ls) the symlink instead of the
target of the symlink.
The -Ll hardlink case was fixed in 8.22 with a bit of
an epic discussion in http://bugs.gnu.org/15173
The -Ls symlink case currently just symlinks the source symlink.
With no further comments in 2 years, I'm closing this bug.
