Bug#619020: gvfs-fuse: copied target file is zero-length if it already exists

[brian m. carlson]

Package: gvfs-fuse
Version: 1.6.4-3
Severity: normal

If I use cp to copy a file to a gvfs mount, the target file ends up
being zero-length if it already exists:

  lakeview ok % ls -l ~/.gvfs/sftp\ for\ bmc\ on\ castro.crustytoothpaste.net/tmp/WelcomeToTexas.jpg
  ls: cannot access /home/bmc/.gvfs/sftp for bmc on castro.crustytoothpaste.net/tmp/WelcomeToTexas.jpg: No such file or directory
  lakeview no % cp WelcomeToTexas.jpg ~/.gvfs/sftp\ for\ bmc\ on\ castro.crustytoothpaste.net/tmp   
  lakeview ok % ls -l ~/.gvfs/sftp\ for\ bmc\ on\ castro.crustytoothpaste.net/tmp/WelcomeToTexas.jpg
  -rw------- 1 bmc bmc 95645 Mar 20 13:36 /home/bmc/.gvfs/sftp for bmc on castro.crustytoothpaste.net/tmp/WelcomeToTexas.jpg
  lakeview ok % cp WelcomeToTexas.jpg ~/.gvfs/sftp\ for\ bmc\ on\ castro.crustytoothpaste.net/tmp   
  lakeview ok % ls -l ~/.gvfs/sftp\ for\ bmc\ on\ castro.crustytoothpaste.net/tmp/WelcomeToTexas.jpg
  -rw------- 1 bmc bmc 0 Mar 20 13:36 /home/bmc/.gvfs/sftp for bmc on castro.crustytoothpaste.net/tmp/WelcomeToTexas.jpg

Also see #607239, which may be related, although I don't believe
shotwell uses the fuse component, only the regular gvfs.
