This update for fdupes provides the following fixes and enhancements:
- Add new options: --nohidden, --permissions, --order, --reverse, --immediate.
- Speed up file comparison.
- Fix bug where fdupes fails to consistently ignore hardlinks, depending on
file processing order, when F_CONSIDERHARDLINKS flag is not set.
- Using tty for interactive input instead of regular stdin. This is to allow
feeding filenames via stdin in future versions of fdupes without breaking
interactive deletion feature.
- Sort the output of fdupes by filename to make it deterministic for parallel
builds. (bsc#1005386)
