[bug #27146] cp --no-preserve=mode is counter-intuitive

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #27146 (project coreutils): I agree with this argument that --no-preserve=mode is merely the opposite of --preserve=mode and should not activate completely new behavior. Regarding the default behavior of cp, I

[bug #19546] mkdir -p should use default ACL for parent directories

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #19546 (project coreutils): I don't take that text in the standard literally. In the hypothetical "POSIX plus abandoned POSIX ACLs" standard that we're implementing, I feel certain it would have been changed to account for default ACLs. I really doubt that a user who a

[bug #19546] mkdir -p should use default ACL for parent directories

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #19546 (project coreutils): This could be considered one part of bug #28891. For now, I've written a simple, hacky patch (attached) that makes "mkdir -p" unconditionally observe default ACLs for ancestor directories but does not change the behavior for the actual argume

bug#6960: mv refuses to move a symlink over a hard link to the same file

If mv is asked to move a symlink over a hard link to the same file, it fails with the message, "A and B are the same file". There is no reason why it should complain rather than perform the move. Example: $ ~/coreutils/coreutils.usr/bin/mv --version mv (GNU coreutils) 8.5.143-77702 Copyright (C)
