Dear coreutils team,
I have coreutils 8.11 installed on my system via Arch Linux packages and have experienced some unexpected behaviour of the "du" utility. When I execute
du -hs . .git
in a folder that contains some files and a subfolder named ".git" the output I get is
194M .
The output I would expect is
194M .
97M .git
If I change the order of the arguments to read
du -hs .git .
I get the output
97M .git
97M .
which again is not the desired result and in fact wrong because the reported size for '.' is 97M whereas a simple `du -hs .` reveals the size of '.' as 194M. It would be great if you could fix this bug or tell me what I did wrong here. :)
Keep up your great work!
Greetings from Germany, Edgar Kalkowski
