You can reproduce this error this way:
% mkdir dir
% echo test >dir/foo
% cp -a dir dir2
% echo test2 > dir/foo.bak
% echo test3 > dir2/foo.bak
% hardlink -m -t .
Error: Comparing ./dir2/foo.bak to ./dir/foo.bak failed
[Errno 2] No such file or directory: './dir2/foo.bak'
% find
./dir
./dir/foo
./dir/foo.bak
./dir2
./dir2/foo
Error is in code:
def link(self, other):
'''Link the current file to another one'''
backup = other.path + '.bak'
[...] os.rename(other.path, backup)
hardlink not test if .bak file exist, overwrite, and remove file.
