Hi,
I tried to use add-name-to-file from elisp,
which calls w32.c/link(). It seems to end up in doing
a copy of the file.
I'm fine with that, but that wasn't clear before trying it.
OTOH if hard links were possible, why not using them? Permissions?
Could someone (Eli ?) care to explain why link() is implemented this way?
Why BackupWrite() is used? I would have expected either CopyFile() or
CreateHardLink().
