I reworked symlink's error handling so that in my testing I now get
the exact same error messages as on Linux:
$ rm wqwqwq
$ ln -sT nowhere wqwqwq/
ln: creating symbolic link `wqwqwq/': No such file or directory
$ ln -sT nowhere wqwqwq/.
ln: creating symbolic link `wqwqwq/.': No such file or directory
$ ln -sT nowhere wqwqwq
$ ln -sT nowhere wqwqwq/
ln: creating symbolic link `wqwqwq/': File exists
$ ln -sT nowhere wqwqwq/.
ln: creating symbolic link `wqwqwq/.': No such file or directory
$ touch nowhere
$ ln -sT nowhere wqwqwq
ln: creating symbolic link `wqwqwq': File exists
$ ln -sT nowhere wqwqwq/
ln: creating symbolic link `wqwqwq/': File exists
$ ln -sT nowhere wqwqwq/.
ln: creating symbolic link `wqwqwq/.': Not a directory
$ rm nowhere
$ mkdir nowhere
$ ln -sT nowhere wqwqwq
ln: creating symbolic link `wqwqwq': File exists
$ ln -sT nowhere wqwqwq/.
ln: creating symbolic link `wqwqwq/.': File exists
$ ln -sT nowhere wqwqwq/
ln: creating symbolic link `wqwqwq/': File exists
Can you please check against your testsuite?
Thanks,
