That slightly goes on and on ... :-).  I have no opinion of the S
symlink discussed there, but an M chmod seems clearer, doesn't move
anything, etc ...

On the R rename also noted there, I think I have an open bug of it
acting successfully on "." (good, in my view) but then failing to
refresh current buffer (bad).
