<content type='text'>
* src/system.h (emit_backup_suffix_note): A new function to
output the backup suffix info.  The strings are unchanged,
so translations are not impacted.
* src/cp.c (usage): Use the new function.
* src/ln.c (usage): Likewise.
* src/mv.c (usage): Likewise.
* src/install.c (usage): Likewise.

<id>urn:sha1:ec946718ae7c329ba4d4ef46a467bba125c141a6</id>
<content type='text'>
* src/cp.c (main): Avoid the getenv("SIMPLE_BACKUP_SUFFIX") call,
which is now done if needed in the gnulib backupfile module.
Also avoid the redundant strdup, as we don't modify this suffix.
* src/install.c (main): Likewise.
* src/ln.c (main): Likewise.
* src/mv.c (main): Likewise.
Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/23153

<id>urn:sha1:492dcb2eb191b844a2fd5e51db3eed85289bea1f</id>
<content type='text'>
die() has the advantage of being apparent to the compiler
that it doesn't return, which will avoid warnings in some cases,
and possibly generate better code.
* cfg.mk (sc_die_EXIT_FAILURE): A new syntax check rule to
catch any new uses of error (CONSTANT, ...);

Run "make update-copyright" and then...

* gnulib: Update to latest with copyright year adjusted.
* tests/init.sh: Sync with gnulib to pick up copyright year.
* bootstrap: Likewise.
* tests/sample-test: Adjust to use the single most recent year.

These are no longer useful and can impact viewing
patches in some mail programs for example.

<title>all: avoid quoting file names when possible</title>

<id>urn:sha1:08e8fd7e38f2dae7c69c54eb22d508b6517e66e5</id>
<content type='text'>
Quote file names using the "shell-escape" or "shell-escape-always"
methods, which quote as appropriate for most shells,
and better support copy and paste of presented names.
The "always" variant is used when the file name is
embedded in an error message with surrounding spaces.

* cfg.mk (sc_error_shell_quotes): A new syntax check rule
to suggest quotef() where appropriate.
(sc_error_shell_always_quotes): Likewise for quoteaf().
* src/system.h (quotef): A new define to apply shell quoting
when needed.  I.E. when shell character or ':' is present.
(quoteaf): Likewise, but always quote.
* src/*.c: Use quotef() and quoteaf() rather than quote()
where appropriate.
* tests/: Adjust accordingly.

<content type='text'>
* src/system.h (emit_ancillary_info): Take the invariant PROGRAM_NAME
as a parameter, so that consistent references are made to online docs
and texinfo nodes, when a --program-prefix is in place.  Note the
man pages don't need this fix as they're generated before the program
prefix is used.
* NEWS: Mention the improvements in references to online documentation.

* src/ln.c (do_link): It's not obvious that record_file() is a noop
in the symlink case (in that case dest_set is NULL and so ignored).
So to make it obvious, and to avoid false positives seen in coverity,
add the explicit condition here.
