Rather than (file-subdir-of-p DIR1 DIR2) we should have
(file-within-p FILE DIR). Could someone take care of this
adjustment ASAP?

Why and where?
It is not a problem to copy a single file of TREE to a subdirectory of
TREE, but it is a problem to copy TREE to one of its subdirectories,
isn't it?

Why not?

We're not talking about copying but about file-subdir-of-p.
The copy operation only uses file-subdir-of-p with a first argument
which is a directory, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't also handle
the case where the first argument is a file (which occurs in some
places which currently use string-prefix-p).

Good point.
I went ahead and did that, so that the change will be in the next
pretest. I called the function file-in-directory-p rather than
file-within-p, to match existing file function names more closely.
