The code also works around the multiple hard links problem (in the -s case only) by unlinking the target but preserving the atime/mtime of the new target. I'd prefer that we change the definition of "the same" to also include the fact that the st_nlink be 1, and not preserve atime/mtime in that case either. That would allow us to keep in sync both -C and -Cs cases. What do you think?
