Found something very interesting and I think it may be a bug (at least an
anomaly)...
if you rename a symbolic link to a folder, the folder that is pointed to is
renamed vice the link
consider the following (-> denotes a symbolic link)
~/tmp/
~/tmp2 -> ./tmp/
rename "~/tmp2" "~/tmp3"
results in
~/tmp2 -> (broken link, still points to ./tmp/ which does not exist)
~/tmp3/
I checked on MacOS and Linux.
The call causing this problem is in "revRedirectMacOSResourcesRecurse"
This particular issue won't impact ".bundle", ".app", nor ".framework"
folders since they are not relocated.
