Subject:	cp -rup fails if a file/directory exists
Date:	Sun, 6 Sep 2015 14:16:38 -0700
Message-ID:	<CA4D3A18D8884B79941CA26190CE3636@2600kPC>
MIME-Version:	1.0

cp -rup dir /h/ works for version 8.23-4 but for version 8.24-1 it produces
an error " cannot create directory '/h/dir': File exists", where 'dir' is a
directory and '/h/' is a flash drive.

Is there something I can do to force a save? I do not want to delete then
save, I'd rather update a file/dir that exists or create a file/dir that
doesn't.

I've unsuccessfully looked for the cp update notice.
