You don't need it. If two non-equals paths locate the same file then
mismatch will do the right thing. By dropping it then you avoid a
potentially expensive realpath (x2).
ProviderMismatchExcepiton was added in one of the iterations when we
defined UOE, shall be removed in the next update (I'll have an update
after some performance work to compare with direct buffer is done).
Good.
mismatchByAttrs cannot be replaced with isSameFile, it does one edge
case check more than isSameFile when the size of one of the files is
zero. mismatchByAttrs opens the files once vs twice if isSameFile and
size(path) are called.
Hmm, I think we make this a lot simpler.
