Ask a beside question. I cloned org-mode git repo, should I contribute my patch with git way? (I mean create a git branch on my own public clone, then paste it here to let maintainer merge it?) [stardiviner] GPG key ID: 47C32433 IRC(freeenode): stardiviner

To avoid data loss, Syncthing creates a temporary file during transfer with the name ~syncthing~.{filename}.tmp If the transfer completes successfully, then it moves that file in place of the previous version. It's a new inode, not an update of the previous inode, so the hard link will be lost.
