v4.2: Output File Symlinking #41

Closed rucker closed 6 years ago

rucker commented 6 years ago

When only one input file exists for a given dotfile, symlink to it rather than compiling a new output dotfile.

Symlinking scenarios involved:
- Replace existing dotfile with symlink
- Remove existing symlink when compiling multiple input files
- Don't try to back up symlinks
- Handle existing valid, broken symlinks
New switch --no-symlinks will disable symlinking
