I expected that since -u says
-u, --update
copy only when the SOURCE file is newer than the
destination file or when the destination file is missing
it would not attempt to copy the file in this case (since the file is
not newer than itself) and cp would return a true exit status.
Sounds like it'd be worthwhile to change that, if you can do it
in an obviously safe manner. If you write a patch, please
