 * Changes in Emacs 22.1
 
+** The commands copy-file, rename-file, make-symbolic-link and
+add-name-to-file, when given a directory as the "new name" argument,
+convert it to a file name by merging in the within-directory part of
+the existing file's name.  (This is the same convention that shell
+commands cp, mv, and ln follow.)  Thus, M-x copy-file RET ~/foo RET
+/tmp RET copies ~/foo to /tmp/foo.
+
 ** C-u M-x goto-line now switches to the most recent previous buffer,
 and goes to the specified line in that buffer.
