Updated patch

There was a bug in the try_link_dest() function when a symlink was being copied
with the same name as a non-symlink in the --link-dest dir.  This version fixes
that.

Thanks!  Your first patch worked fine for me in my big dirvish test (because I
didn't have any clashing symlinks---at least, on a very casual inspection),
but
I've downloaded the last patch and reapplied.  Still passes make test. 
(Haven't
done any other testing, but this version will be used in the next dirvish run,
at least.)  And it's certainly eliminated all the log clutter by not
retransferring all those devices.
