User-visible changes in release 3.10:
+* ln accepts a new option: --no-dereference (-n). With this option,
+ if the destination command line argument is a symlink to a directory,
+ use that as the destination instead of the file in the directory.
* `ln -i no-such-file existing-file' gives a diagnostic and fails.
Before, if you responded `yes' to the prompt it would both remove
`existing-file' and fail to make a link.
