[bug #62964] --on-clobber does not respect sym-linked files

[Darshit Shah]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #62964 (project wget):

>From the manual:


           When running Wget with -N, with or without -r or -p, the decision
as to whether or not to download a newer copy of a file depends on the local
and remote timestamp
           and size of the file.  -nc may not be specified at the same time as
-N.


Thus, your point 3 is invalid. 
However, I will agree that if you have a symlinked file, then Wget should not
clobber it even with -r unless the file on the server has changed. In which
case you need to use --timestamping to prevent that.

I will look into the symlink issue and see what I can find there.
