Subject: (copy_internal): Remove earlier (but less effective)
X-Git-Tag: FILEUTILS-4_1-b1~80
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=32df3704e41fac85df7e7054678d14d94f4cb153;p=thirdparty%2Fcoreutils.git

(copy_internal): Remove earlier (but less effective)
test for move/copy-into-self.
Instead, deduce the move-into-self condition from errno==EINVAL
after a failed rename.
