Details:
in quick-save mode the editor just overwrites the existing file. this is all
fine ... except when you cloned a source tree with "cp -al" and want to patch
one copy.
this patch adds a check whether the file has multiple hard links and asks
whether the file should be "detached" before saving.
one particularly noteworthy part is the change of the unlocking logic in case
of saving failure (chunk for line 551+ in new version). either me or the
original author got it wrong.
hmm, thinking about this further, it might make sense to warn the user that he
would detach the file if he is using one of the other saving modes - and offer
to switch to quick save mode in this case.
