Adds reflink support for files that would be copied using
copy_files. This is mostly beneficial to cross platform teams where a customlnorcpcommand can't be easily made cross-platform.Reflinking is almost always better than a normal copy, and doesn't have the limitations of symlink or hardlinks (same extents) - only reason you might not want to reflink - you can get into a state where you have more data on your filesystem then physical space (so defragmentation, say on btrfs, can run into issues, but that's generally a well known issue that btrfs users understand). ReFS on Windows (DevDrives) is noted as untested by the crate library - but I use it in my other projects (https://github.com/Silvenga/memocp) without issues (tested against ReFS).
I didn't update the
README.zh-CN.md, feels bad when I can't read Chinese. Hopefullymy changes in
ARCHITECTURE.mdaren't absolute junk (felt good to add for future agents).
