When FreeBSD-8 came out, it came with a newly rewritten cpio(1) that no longer
offered an option I originally started using with SunOS/Solaris, but came to
expect on FreeBSD and Linux as well. Since it was pretty trivial to add it
back, I did so and offered the patch in PR bin/141175:
<http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=141175>
The option is "-V" to print a dot per file copied rather than the much more
verbose "-v" and the dots variant that can be useful for some feedback when
copying a large hierarchy.
My PR was filed on 2008/Dec/4, over a month ago, yet there has not even been a
single response to it. Did I mis-file it?
Thanks,
Philip
