Subject: bug#5343: 23.1.91; recursive directory copying is broken
Date: Sat, 09 Jan 2010 00:14:58 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87fx6gkx3h.fsf@escher.home> (raw)
1. emacs -Q
2. Make a directory /tmp/test, add to it a file named "a" and a
directory named "test", and add to /tmp/test/test a file named "b".
3. Type `M-x copy-directory RET /tmp/test RET ~ RET' to copy /tmp/test
recursively to ~.
4. Type `C-x d' and at the prompt `~' to visit ~ in Dired, put the
cursor on the directory "test" and type `i' to open "test" as a
subdirectory. This is the result:
/home/steve/test:
total used in directory 16 available 7794948
-rw-r--r-- 1 steve users 4 2010-01-08 23:57 a
-rw-r--r-- 1 steve users 7 2010-01-08 23:57 b
Using `C' in Dired gives the same broken result. In Emacs 23.1
recursive directory copying by `C' in Dired (copy-directory does not
exist in 23.1) works correctly, i.e., shows this:
/home/steve/test:
total used in directory 16 available 7794944
-rw-r--r-- 1 steve users 4 2010-01-08 23:31 a
drwxr-xr-x 2 steve users 4096 2010-01-09 00:06 test
/home/steve/test/test:
total used in directory 12 available 7794944
-rw-r--r-- 1 steve users 7 2010-01-08 23:32 b
