Comment (by bonefish):
I find the ticket perfectly valid. If the user agrees to replace "foo",
the application should replace "foo", not the file it refers to. The
phrasing in the alert could be more accurate -- referring to "symbolic
link 'foo'" in this case -- and ideally it could even offer an option to
replace the file referred to by the symbolic link. And yes, this should be
fixed in all applications. Pe works correctly, BTW (using save as new +
remove old + rename, IIRC).
