[PATCH] adding two new options to 'cp'

On Wed, Jul 26, 2006 at 08:51:13PM -0700 I heard the voice of
Julian Elischer, and lo! it spake thus:

While we're in workarounds, I fake with:

% cat ~/bin/tarcp.sh 
#!/bin/sh
cmd1="tar -cf - -C $1 ."
cmd2="tar -xvpf - -C $2"
echo "$cmd1 | $cmd2"
$cmd1 | $cmd2

(which has the twin advantages of telling me what it's doing as it
goes, and using two processes so it can pound source and dest disks in
full parallel)
