chmod: create a new file when flags are set on a hardlinked file For performance reasons we have several repositories where the files in the working directory of 1 repo are hardlinks to the files of the other repo When an update in one repo results in a chmod of a such a file, the hardlink has to be deleted and replaced by a regular file to make sure that the change does not happen in the other repo
