06666564b4 Make -r a synonym for -R, similar to behavior on Linux while being backwards
compatible with old -r behavior with regards to -L.  You can now copy fifos
and other special files with -r.

8b80a447a3 In the hope of saving others from hours of tedious recovery work,
document that cp still isn't very useful for recursive copies even
with the -R flag.  This is because hard links are broken by cp.

808a36ef65 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.
