I think backup-by-copying variable has to do with _hard_ links, not
symlinks.
Ah, yes! I first introduced 'backup-by-copying t' when I saw that my clever hard
links changed a bit. Years later I found that block (a larger one, actually) and
adopted it – with the original comments included. And that one comment is
presumingly wrong...
Thanks! I'll make an update to my init file.
