added a fuller test case...

note freebsd link(2) currently doesn't hardlink
symlinks or directories. there's also something
called whiteout. all conceivably link(2)able but
moot at the moment.

so this would apply to all other types excluding
regular files.

i also vaguely recall that user/group/perm/mtime
updates to non-regular files [hardlinked and/or not?]
may be recreating them on new inodes as opposed
to just updating those bits. will confirm this
behavior later.
