the meta-data format hasn't changed in the meantime, so it can't be that. I
think that it was a bug where GNU patch did a rename("f", "g") with "f" and
"g" being hardlinks (which is defined to do nothing!), and it didn't check for
hardlinks. Should be fixed in GNU patch since quite some time. I cannot
reproduce the problem.
Thanks,
Andreas
