After upgrading coreutils from 9.0 to 9.5, the following change occurred: In coreutils 9.0, the command "cp -Tipruvx /src-dir /dst-dir" requested interactive confirmation before replacing an old destination file with a newer source file, as expected.
In coreutils 9.5, the command "cp -Tipruvx /src-dir /dst-dir" no longer requests interactive confirmation, but just goes ahead and replaces old destination files with newer source files, which is not expected. Thank you in advance for looking at this, Bob.
