Hi all, I'm failing in creating a symlink where the destination is a directory and do a backup of this directory. This is what I tried:
$ mkdir a $ ln -s --no-target-directory --backup=numbered b a ln: `a': cannot overwrite directory Looking at the code I can seen the reason, the backup rename() is never executed, because the check whether the target is a directory comes first. Any hints whether this is a bug of ln or how I can create the link while preserving the destination as an backup are more than welcomed. Thanks. Bert
