mbsync relies on the monotoneously incrementing UIDs.
when there are no UIDs encoded in the file names, it tries to deduce
the arrival order from the semi-standardized naming convention. if the
symlinks don't follow that convention or were assigned more or less
randomly to files, the result will reflect that.
