M in dired changes file permissions, then redisplays with the new
permissions. That's the way it ought to be.
H in dired makes hard links, but doesn't redisplay with the changes.
Actually it does something more insidious... it half updates the
changes, lulling the user into a false sense of confidence and
control:
Before:
-rw-r--r-- 1 jidanni jidanni 2019 Feb 7 06:33 gggggg
pressing H g g 2 RET gives
-rw-r--r-- 1 jidanni jidanni 2019 Feb 7 06:33 gggggg
H -rw-r--r-- 2 jidanni jidanni 2019 Feb 7 06:33 gg2
when it should be
-rw-r--r-- 2 jidanni jidanni 2019 Feb 7 06:33 gggggg
H -rw-r--r-- 2 jidanni jidanni 2019 Feb 7 06:33 gg2
or better yet:
H -rw-r--r-- 2 jidanni jidanni 2019 Feb 7 06:33 gggggg
H -rw-r--r-- 2 jidanni jidanni 2019 Feb 7 06:33 gg2
An ls on both affected files seems appropriate. No, wait, there might
be other files affected too... better do an ls on the whole
directory... optionally turn-offable. Whatever. I report the
problem, you find the solution, or at least make a note of it in the
help/info if not intending to fix it.
Might as well check the other dired keys for similar follies too.
