Just to clarify on one technical point above:

>Perhaps kwrite saves files by first creating a new file and then replacing the 
>old with the new

Yes, all decent apps will do this, it's just safer in case something goes wrong
whilst saving. You write to a temporary file then do an atomic swap with the
real file.

Symlinks do work with Kate. It won't replace a symlink it'll do the swapping
with a temporary file against the base url. With hard links you can't (easily
and quickly) determine if another link is in place.
