[Bug-stow] -R/--restow option has no obvious effect under macOS build of stow 2.2.2. |

To reproduce the bug, I am using macOS 10.12.6. After installing the
software from brew, I executed the following:
mkdir -p tmp/stow/abc-1
mkdir -p tmp/stow/abc-2
echo "DEF 1" > tmp/stow/abc-1/def.txt
echo "DEF 2" > tmp/stow/abc-2/def.txt
cd tmp/stow
stow abc-1
cat ../def.txt # yields DEF 1, as expected.
stow abc-2 # fails, as expected.
stow -R abc-2 # fails in exactly the same way as above, NOT expected.
stow -D abc-1 # But this works...
stow abc-2
cat ../def.txt # Yields DEF 2, as desired.
Available documentation suggests that stow -R P is equivalent to stow
-D P && stow -S P. Here's the relevant command-line transcript:
falvosa-mbp:stow falvosa$ stow abc-2
WARNING! stowing abc-2 would cause conflicts:
* existing target is stowed to a different package: def.txt =>
stow/abc-1/def.txt
All operations aborted.
falvosa-mbp:stow falvosa$ stow -R abc-2
WARNING! stowing abc-2 would cause conflicts:
* existing target is stowed to a different package: def.txt =>
stow/abc-1/def.txt
All operations aborted.
falvosa-mbp:stow falvosa$ stow -D abc-1
falvosa-mbp:stow falvosa$ stow abc-2
falvosa-mbp:stow falvosa$ _
If there's anything else I need to provide with my bug report, please
let me know. Thanks!!
