Greetings,
A long, long time ago, I proposed adding a few more convenience functions to filesystem.

Despite a positive response and a followup patch, those functions never got incorporated. Did it just fall through the cracks, or was there a more substantive reason those functions never got added?
AFAIK, it just fell through the cracks. I've created a ticket, #2657 so that won't happen this time around.
Otherwise, it does not seem possible to implement "cp -a".
Interesting. I'd appreciate it if you could send me your patches. That might speed up the process a bit. Thanks, --Beman
