prevents --preserve to eat the next argument when no value is passed.
default value for --preserve is set to mode,ownership(unix only),timestamps
before the patch:
cp --preserve foo bar
error: invalid value 'foo' for '--preserve [<ATTR_LIST>...]'
[possible values: mode, ownership, timestamps, context, link, links, xattr, all]

On Android, this cp with explicit preserve of xattr must fail, because of the limitations of the filesystem setup used on Android.

This commit corrects the behavior of `cp -r --parents --verbose` when
the source path is a directory, so that it prints the copied ancestor
directories. For example,
$ mkdir -p a/b/c d
$ cp -r --verbose --parents a/b/c d
a -> d/a
a/b -> d/a/b
'a/b/c' -> 'd/a/b/c'
This commit corrects the behavior of `cp --parents --verbose` when the
source path is a file so that it prints the copied ancestor
directories. For example,
$ mkdir -p a/b d
$ touch a/b/c
$ cp --verbose --parents a/b/c d
a -> d/a
a/b -> d/a/b
'a/b/c' -> 'd/a/b/c'
Fixes#3332.
Improve readability of the `preserve_hardlinks()` helper function by
reducing levels of nesting in the body of the function and making it
return a Boolean rather than mutating a Boolean argument.
When copying the contents of a named pipe (also known as a FIFO) via
cp --preserve=ownership --copy-contents fifo fifo-copy
limit the permissions of the destination file while the contents are
being copied, and then restore the permissions to match those of the
source FIFO when all contents have been copied successfully.
Prevent a panic in `cp -a` when the target of a hard link already
exists in the target directory structure.
For example,
$ mkdir -p src dest/src
$ touch src/f dest/src/f
$ ln src/f src/link
$ cp -a src dest
The `cp` command now succeeds without error.
