# 282208 28-Apr-2015 smh

Standardise chmod, chflags, chown and chgrp recursive symlink processing

chmod, chflags, chgrp, chmod and chown now affect symlinks in -R mode as
defined in symlink(7); previously symlinks were silently ignored.

# 204165 21-Feb-2010 gavin

Add a "-x" option to chown(8)/chgrp(1) similar to the same option in
du(1), cp(1) etc, to prevent the crossing of mountpoints whilst using the
commands recursively.

Activate the -h flag which tells chown/chgrp to work on the symlink itself
using lchown(). Most of the code was already here, the option was
recognised but ignored for SYSV/POSIX.2(?) compatability.

Make the long-awaited change from $Id$ to $FreeBSD$

This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.

Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
