o bugfixes
* du no longer multiply counts a file that is a directory or whose
link count is 1.
* du -H and -L now consistently count pointed-to files instead of
symbolic links, and correctly diagnose dangling symlinks.
* du --ignore=D now ignores directory D even when that directory is
found to be part of a directory cycle.
* split now diagnoses read errors rather than silently exiting.
* tac would perform a double-free when given an input line longer
than 16KiB.
* tail -F once again notices changes in a currently unavailable
directory, and works around a Linux kernel bug where inotify runs
out of resources.
* tr now consistently handles case conversion character classes.
o New features
* cp now accepts the --attributes-only option to not copy file data.
* du recognizes -d N as equivalent to --max-depth=N
* sort now accepts the --debug option, to highlight the part of the
line significant in the sort, and warns about questionable options.
* sort now supports -d, -f, -i, -R, and -V in any combination.
* stat now accepts the %m format directive to output the mount point
for a file. It also accepts the %w and %W format directives for
outputting the birth time of a file, if one is available.
o Changes in behavior
* df now consistently prints the device name for a bind mounted file,
rather than its aliased target.
* du now uses less than half as much memory when operating on trees
with many hard-linked files.
