?27?
In the function clobber-symlink, shouldn't
the prompt text for yes-or-no-p be more like:


(format "Disconnect %s from %s? "
buffer-file-name
target)


rather than:


(format "Replace %s with %s? "
buffer-file-name
target)


since the contents of target are never written
into buffer-file-name (and one wouldn't want
to either, since that would lose any unsaved
edits in the buffer)?


The code works fine, it's the prompt that seems
to be misleading.
