Corresponding source code
As of coreutils 5.92, there is a regression over previous versions:
$ rm -rf /tmp/test$$
# this fails:
$ mkdir -p /tmp/test$$/new/.
mkdir: cannot create directory `/tmp/test12097/new/.': File exists
# it works however if the directory exists
$ mkdir -p /tmp/test$$/new/. # now works as new exists
The first mkdir -p command shown used to work with older coreutils, and there is no reason why it should fail today.
