Subject: Convert --backup to take an optional argument.
X-Git-Tag: FILEUTILS-4_0j-trial~123
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=362c45be17bff03e31deec611d454598c9d86c4d;p=platform%2Fupstream%2Fcoreutils.git

Convert --backup to take an optional argument.
Deprecate --version-control (-V) in comments.
(usage): Remove mention of --version-control.
(main): Make -V warn then fall through into --backup case.
[--backup case]: Handle optional arg.
