auto-detecting 2-bufs *same* file|dir (pbm via symlinks)?
For instance, these lines from *Buffer List*:
. % dkc<2> 425733 Dired by name /myexternals/home/dkc/
% dkc<3> 425738 Dired by date /opt6/myexternals/home/dkc/
Ditto for actual files, eg under the above .../dkc/.
(where these are some of the symlinks:
5 lines matching ">" in buffer /.
17: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root other 17 Dec 13 17:37 myexternals ->
/opt6/myexternals
18: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root other 22 Dec 13 17:27 opt3 ->
/opt6/myexternals/opt3
25: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root other 8 Dec 11 17:34 dkcjunk-symlink
-> /dkcjunk
55: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Aug 9 14:59 bin -> ./usr/bin
56: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Aug 9 14:59 lib -> ./usr/lib
)
Of course, there's now a horrendously dangerous situation -- suppose
you inadvertently make some changes to one, and others
to it's "alias" file or dir.
QUESTION: is there a package somewhere that will
warn (maybe even disallow) such a situation?
Thanks!
