Hi,

When specifying multiple entries on the command line if one of the file
folders is a subfolder of a previous parameter it will not show any
information about it. This is relevant when using max-depth.
Ex:
du -sh folder folder/subfolder
Will only show one entry which is the size of folder. If order is reversed
du -sh folder/subfolder folder will work as expected.
Another example:
du -sh .*
This will only show sizes for . and .. everything else being in the current
folder being a subfolder will not work.

Have a nice day,
Sorin.
