Hi, I've renamed the variable to be more hinting of it's purpose

Thanks, that looks good ... maybe the directory case deserves to
be added to the test. Minor nit: the change in copy_internal() is
missing in the commit log.
I'm sure that Padraig/Jim will add both when committing.

BTW: Interestingly, the TODO entry mentioned "--no-preserve=X"
to be buggy:

-cp --no-preserve=X should not attempt to preserve attribute X
-  reported by Andreas Schwab
but in fact, all the modes (t,o,l,c, and x) but "mode"
have already been working. ;-)

Have a nice day,
Berny
Hi, I've amended the commit log and added a test for directories.
Cheers,
 Ondrej.
