Regarding the "backupcopy" option, can you please tell me exactly what option that is I should be enabling on the "configure" command line? I have searched the entire source code, including all labels in src/feature.h and there is no label resembling "backupcopy". There is a "+/iwritebackup" option, there is the "backupskip" command, enabled as part of the "+/-wildignore" feature, but I don't see a "backupcopy" feature. Additionally, I have configured for "huge" builds and there is no "backupoption" in the outputof ":version", either as a "+" or a "-" (which would indicate it is inthe source code but has been disabled). For your reference, I attach the output of ":version" for my build as sent out in my original email. Cheers, Andre.
