Re: [PATCH v2] Add an option not to use link(src, dest) && unlink(src) when that is unreliable

So if you do:

	cat >corrupt-move.c <<\EOF
	#include <unistd.h>
	int main(int ac, char **av)
        {
                return (link(av[1], av[2]) || unlink(av[1]));
	}
	EOF
        cc -o corrupt-move corrupt-move.c
        ./corrupt-move corrupt-move.c corrupt-move.c.new

you end up with a corrupt-move.c.new file that is full of NUL?

I have not compiled and run this code, but I am _real_ sure that this is 
exactly the issue.
