The bug in the PR seems to be fixed, but cross-device moves are still quite broken: (1) $ touch /tmp/z; ln -s /tmp/z ~/z1; mv ~/z1 /tmp/z where "~" and "/tmp" are not on the same filesystem, causes the link to be removed instead of moved. (2) $ rm /tmp/z; ln -s /tmp/z ~/z1; mv ~/z1 /tmp/z causes the link to be moved, but then mv(1) emits a bogus error message saying that the rename to do the move failed. mv(2) also has various bugs for hard links.
