Jim Meyering b01355a1dc mv: "mv A B" would sometimes succeed, yet A would remain, ... ...

But only when both A and B were hard links to the same symlink.
* src/copy.c (same_file_ok): Handle another special case: the one
in which we are moving a symlink onto a hard link to itself.
In this case, we must explicitly tell the caller to unlink the
source file.  Otherwise, at least the linux-3.x kernel rename
function would do nothing, as mandated by POSIX 2008.
* tests/mv/symlink-onto-hardlink-to-self: New test.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.
