[Bug 1099029] Re: cp command ignores argument --remove-destination

[C de-Avillez]

@Phillip Wyett: thank you for correctly setting this bug back into
Incomplete, and for the explanation.

@ill: I am sorry, but what really does not work is your explanation of
what you expected, and what you got.

A bug is a technical report of an error. In a bug report we expect to
find -- *at least* -- the bare minimum data that will allow us to zero
in the offending package, and check the code/doc/whatever. See, for
example, http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html

Unfortunately, "I expected the --remove-destination argument to work; It
didn't work" does not" still does not give us anything to work on. You
have not stated what you expected to find, nor what was the result.

As an addendum, the full documentation for each of the coreutils
utilities is stored under 'info', and the 'man' pages are just a
summary. For the full documentation on 'cp', please see:

info coreutils 'cp invocation',
