Does anyone know where a canonical copy of move-if-change is stored? There never was a canonical location afaik. So I too think the Autoconf version is the best place to start, and you should just put it in gnulib now, if/since you need it. The gcc/emacs/etc. versions are unlikely to be im

2007-09-28 Thread Jim Meyering
Thanks to Bob's buildbot, I spotted a problem with my recent change. Without this, the test mentioned below would fail with a diagnostic about "../s" not being found, rather than saying that it'd detected a symlink loop. Here's the patch I'll push as soon as tests pass. >From 05552c43d21f272e9276

Does anyone know where a canonical copy of move-if-change is stored? Or maybe no existing version is good enough for GNU standards, and we should make gnulib become the canonical home of a proper implementation? I would like to add it into gnulib/build-aux, so that projects can easily grab the
