When `file-precious-flag' is non-nil, files are saved by renaming a
temporary file to the new name; this is an atomic operation on POSIX
so other programs will not see the file in an intermediate state.
Unfortunately, due to a paren-matching error introduced in change
574c05e219476912db3105fa164accd9ba12b35f, we would then write the
contents again in the usual way after this rename. In addition to
being wasteful, this is a serious bug: the whole point of
`file-precious-flag' is to prevent race conditions with other programs
that might otherwise see an empty file, but with this bug the race is
actually much *more* likely to be visible: the rename will alert any
inotify watchers of a change, and then the subsequent write is very
likely to truncate the file just as those programs start to read it!
* lisp/files.el (basic-save-buffer-2): Don't rewrite file contents
after saving-by-renaming.
* test/lisp/files-tests.el (files-tests-dont-rewrite-precious-files):
* test/lisp/net/tramp-tests.el (tramp-test10-write-region-file-precious-flag):
Regression tests for this change.
