bsdcpio(1): -L|-R options don't work?

[Tim Kientzle]

The -R here does look suspicious.  I'll look into that and the
test failure.

The -L handling here looks correct, though.  Remember
that -L means "follow symlinks", which means that foo/baz
should get created in the target as a directory and not as
a symlink, which is exactly what you've shown.

If you want blah/foo/baz to be a symlink, you want to omit
the -L option.
