I pushed the change from here as below, plus a mention in NEWS. Since
the --help message already says that chown applies to "installed files",
and an existing directory is not "installed", I didn't think it needed
any ad
Hi,
I don't know whether it is still worth having, but I submit it in case
you would be interested. We occasionally encountered errors on a few systems
when trying to change ownership of existing directories.
