Is the below correct behavior for du?
My expectation was that both du commands would print a summary for
'a/b'. Unexpectedly, the second command only prints a summary for
'a'.
$ mkdir -p a/b
$ du -hs a/b a
0 a/b
0 a
$ du -hs a a/b
0 a
$ du --version
du (GNU coreutils) 8.30

The above is on Ubuntu.
On Alpine Linux, I get the same (unexpected) behavior with both the
coreutils and busybox versions of du. On Alpine, the coreutils
version is: "du (GNU coreutils) 8.32".
Thank you.
