+       * src/copy.c (copy_reg): New parameters: X and NEW_DST.
+       Remove the SPARSE_MODE parameter.  Update caller.
+       Perform POSIX-mandated (for cp) open-with-O_WRONLY|O_TRUNC when
+       the regular destination file exists;  upon failure, unlink
+       that existing file, then open again, but with O_WRONLY|O_CREAT.
+       (copy_internal): `force' in not related to interactive; remove
+       the conjunct.
+       Remove the entire `else if (x->force)' block;  justifying
+       removal of the non-directory part is easy:  POSIX requires we try
+       to open an existing regular file, so we can't unlink it beforehand.
+       The part that changes the mode on a directory to allow overwriting
+       isn't necessary.
+
+       * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Rename two goto labels.
+       (copy_internal): Set `new_dst' when the move_mode rename fails,
+       since we then unlink the destination file.
+
        * src/cp.c (usage): --force is independent of --interactive.
