i'm strictly opposed. it would make working with cloned source trees
harder. and i'm pretty sure that my use case is sort of more common than

fwiw, i think the setup you described is totally braindead. it's just a
matter of time until some other editor detaches the file. one of the
files should be a symlink to the other one.
