Might have happened earlier, but now all runs get "operation not permitted", even when the destination is inside another directory. :(

Well, when the source is at the root of a drive, at least. Might want to include caveats of what works and doesn't in the README.

same for me here. i always get an "operation not permitted". @ahknight did you find a way to make it work tho?

ahknight commented 11 years ago

I did not. The problem is that the links cannot be siblings or descendants of each other. I'm going to go ahead and call this the incest rule.

Links of "unrelated" directories worked in ML (e.g. Downloads/Something -> Documents/SomethingToo).

It does still need documentation.
