It's not in POSIX, and doesn't work on (at least) Solaris. I think Mike's patch (cpio if available, copy otherwise) is a reasonable approach. If there are other methods (and I think cp -l is not unreasonable for systems where it is supported and cpio is unavailable), then perhaps it is worth trying them one by one and dropping back to full copy if all fail. -Peff - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
