My understanding is the behaviour is correct: when 'cp' is copying to a directory, it will copy *under* the target directory, not *over* it. So it will start the copy and later it will notice it is copying recursively -- and immediately stop.
Nevertheless, I am open to suggestions ;-) |

This is correct behaviour as per POSIX - it's how it should work!
This is something that would be an upstream bug, but they will not want to change this behaviour. |

Original refusal was based on an IRC refusal, but upstream have now said that while they won't do the work they are interested in patches. Reopened to track. |

Setting to Triaged/Wishlist; adding an upstream tracker to the email thread. |
