1. emacs -Q 2. Make a directory /tmp/test, add to it a file named "a" and a directory named "test", and add to /tmp/test/test a file named "b". 3. Type `M-x copy-directory RET /tmp/test RET ~ RET' to copy /tmp/test recursively to ~. 4. Type `C-x d' and at the prompt `~' to visit ~ in Dired, put the cursor on the directory "test" and type `i' to open "test" as a subdirectory. This is the result: /home/steve/test: total used in directory 16 available 7794948 -rw-r--r-- 1 steve users 4 2010-01-08 23:57 a -rw-r--r-- 1 steve users 7 2010-01-08 23:57 b Using `C' in Dired gives the same broken result. In Emacs 23.1 recursive directory copying by `C' in Dired (copy-directory does not exist in 23.1) works correctly, i.e., shows this: /home/steve/test: total used in directory 16 available 7794944 -rw-r--r-- 1 steve users 4 2010-01-08 23:31 a drwxr-xr-x 2 steve users 4096 2010-01-09 00:06 test /home/steve/test/test: total used in directory 12 available 7794944 -rw-r--r-- 1 steve users 7 2010-01-08 23:32 b In GNU Emacs 23.1.91.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.18.1) of 2010-01-06 on escher Windowing system distributor `The X.Org Foundation', version 11.0.10605000 Important settings: value of $LC_ALL: nil value of $LC_COLLATE: nil value of $LC_CTYPE: nil value of $LC_MESSAGES: nil value of $LC_MONETARY: nil value of $LC_NUMERIC: nil value of $LC_TIME: nil value of $LANG: en_US.UTF-8 value of $XMODIFIERS: @im=local locale-coding-system: utf-8-unix default enable-multibyte-characters: t
