Thanks, both. I think the topic won't escape 'next' until 2.20
final, and after that we can rewind 'next', so it may be better
to squash it in, but anyway...

Subject: [PATCH] t6036: avoid non-portable "cp -a"
b8cd1bb713 ("t6036, t6043: increase code coverage for file collision
handling", 2018-11-07) uses this GNU extension that is not available
in a POSIX complaint cp. In this particular case, there is no need to
use the option, as it is just copying a single file to create another
file.
