when i do this with vim-7.2.79 then i get:

let's make this testing a little shorter:
mkdir /tmp/foo
cd /tmp/foo
touch bar
ln bar hard
ln -s bar soft
vim bar hard soft
and within vim:
:args
[bar] bar bar
:n
:args
bar [bar] bar
:n
:args
bar bar [bar]
"notice the consistent interface!" ;-)
note: there is only this one "file" in the buffer list:
:ls
1 %a "bar" line 1

yep - an indication for a softlink would be great.
maybe even give for a hardlink when there is more than one?
mind you - in the todo.txt there already is a similar issue:
8 When editing a file which is a symbolic link, and then opening another
symbolic link on the same file, Vim uses the name of the first one.
Adjust the file name in the buffer to the last one used? Use several file
names in one buffer???
Also: When first editing file "test", which is symlink to "test2", and
then editing "test2", you end up editing buffer "test" again. It's not
logical that the name that was first used sticks with the buffer.
actually,
i wouldnt mind if ":ls" had better info.
and i would really like to move the
"line NNN" indication to the *front*.
example:
:ls
1 h "[No Name]" line 1
2 h ".mutt/NEW" line 1080
4 ".mutt/personal" line 5
4 h ".zshrc.mine" line 25
5 %a ".cal.dat" line 3711
6 h ".procmailrc" line 2343
7 h ".mutt/aliases" line 1
8 ".ssh/config" line 152
9 h "~/.P/filter/index.html" line 862
10 #h "~/.P/cal/TODO.txt" line 11
11 h "~/.vim/vimrc.mine" line 7
12 h ".mutt/aliases" line 1
13 h ".P/har/index.html" line 148
14 h "~/.P/quotes/collection" line 5
15 "/home/www/guckes/public_html/har2009/pics.2009-08-17/index.html" line
59
16 h "/home/www/guckes/public_html/Sig/SIGS" line 5860
17 h "/home/www/guckes/public_html/HOMEPAGE.html" line 12
18 "/home/www/guckes/public_html/Irc/channels.2009-08-11" line 1
new layout:
line numbers before filenames.
no quotes around filename - unless they contain spaces.
and paths like "/home/www/guckes/public_html/"
abbreviated to "~/.P/" to save space.
result:
:ls
1 h 1 [No Name]
2 h 1080 .mutt/NEW
4 5 .mutt/personal
4 h 25 .zshrc.mine
5 %a 3711 .cal.dat
6 h 2343 .procmailrc
7 h 1 .mutt/aliases
8 152 .ssh/config
9 h 862 ~/.P/filter/index.html
10 #h 11 ~/.P/cal/TODO.txt
11 h 7 ~/.vim/vimrc.mine
12 h 1 .mutt/aliases
13 h 148 .P/har/index.html
14 h 5 ~/.P/quotes/collection
15 59 ~/.P/har2009/pics.2009-08-17/index.html
16 h 5860 ~/.P/Sig/SIGS
17 h 12 ~/.P/HOMEPAGE.html
18 1 ~/.P/Irc/channels.2009-08-11
now imagine this with an indicator for hard/soft link,
ie a number for the hard links - and an '@'
for soft links (add a little zsh style here ;-),
pointed out here within brackets around the data:
:ls
1 h [ ] 1 [No Name]
2 h [ ] 1080 .mutt/NEW
4 [ ] 5 .mutt/personal
4 h [23] 25 .zshrc.mine
5 %a [42] 3711 .cal.dat
6 h [ ] 2343 .procmailrc
7 h [ 2] 1 .mutt/aliases
8 [ ] 152 .ssh/config
9 h [@ ] 862 ~/.P/filter/index.html
10 #h [@ ] 11 ~/.P/cal/TODO.txt
11 h [ ] 7 ~/.vim/vimrc.mine
12 h [ 2] 1 .mutt/aliases
13 h [ ] 148 .P/har/index.html
14 h [@ ] 5 ~/.P/quotes/collection
15 [@ ] 59 ~/.P/har2009/pics.2009-08-17/index.html
16 h [@ ] 5860 ~/.P/Sig/SIGS
17 h [@ ] 12 ~/.P/HOMEPAGE.html
18 [@ ] 1 ~/.P/Irc/channels.2009-08-11
so... anyone else want this? i am sure
Bram does want to redo the layout for that.
maybe someone can put this into a script
so we can try this a little before changing?
