Ezio Melotti added the comment:

Adding more tests is good, even though there are still a few things that should 
be improved (see comments on rietveld).
Regarding the documentation I'm not sure it's a good idea to be so detailed.  
On one hand, if we test the behavior we can make sure that the documentation is 
accurate, OTOH it might make the docs more confusing and once this behavior is 
documented it will be difficult to change it (and there might still be 
exceptions on different platforms/filesystems or if symlinks are involved).
Maybe it would be better to suggest a LBYL approach rather trying to document 
and deal with all the different combinations.
