From 1b6c640f464fe3bf8b2923d5be4e6d30460794f5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jim Meyering Date: Thu, 11 Nov 1999 13:19:36 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] (copy_internal): Treat src and dest as the `same' in `mv src symlink-to-src' when src and dest are on different partitions. Otherwise, that `mv' command would silently remove `src'.
