I wanted to replace a link to a master copy of a file with an actual copy
of an experimental version, so I dragged the new one on to the folder with
the link. As usual, it asked me if I really wanted to replace the file,
but when I clicked "Replace", it left the link in place and overwrote the
master copy!! Ouch.
Fortunately I do have a backup of the master, but I ''don't'' think this
is expected behaviour! (I am still on an older build -- r42415 -- but I
don't see this having been reported before.)
