I, on the other hand, would not say anything until someone tried it, and
then wouldn't be surprised if it behaved either way :-)
It pre-allocates the space as copy does. And yes, I did test :-p
Dave,
I don't know how you tested, but could you please repeat the test with
GnuWin32's cp.exe? If it doesn't preallocate the space then I think our
way forward is reasonably clear:
. we recommend its use for Windows archive_command settings
. we provide the delay kluge as switchable behaviour on Windows instead
of having it always on.
cheers
