Hello, thanks for providing the GNU-system coreutils.
Unfortunately, after a new system installation, I just today discovered, that the --reply=foo option in cp has been deprecated and is going to be removed. I often want to do "cp dir1/* dir2", but protect the files already existing in dir2 from being overwritten by the older files from dir1. I could use "-u", but I often deal with files, on whose timestamps I cannot safely rely on. How to do this without "-i --reply=no"? Or is there anything I overlooked? Hope not.
