I expect it's rare for hard links to pose an issue, but I'm using AFS which doesn't support hard links across directories (http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21047089) so Gobbling a file fails with an EXDEV error. Any chance we could use
symlinkOrCopyinstead oflinkfor single-file source nodes instead? It looks like it's used elsewhere in Gobble and it doesn't seem to break the tests.No hard feelings if you'd rather keep the hard link though!
