[PATCH 1/2] doc: clarify chown/chgrp --dereference defaults


From: Michael Orlitzky
Subject: [PATCH 1/2] doc: clarify chown/chgrp --dereference defaults
Date: Thu, 28 Dec 2017 15:52:42 -0500

* doc/coreutils.texi: the documentation for the --dereference
  flag of chown/chgrp states that it is the default mode of
  operation. Document that this is only the case when operating
  non-recursively.
