We can also have the case where there are links to a file that are
not in the tree being transferred. There's nothing we can do about
that. Because we rename the destination into place after writing,
any hardlinks to the old file are always going to be orphaned. In
fact that is almost necessary because otherwise we'd get really
confused if we were generating checksums for one name of a file and
modifying another.
