It does.  I assume probably everything does but I never really
checked.

Well, with hard-linked trees and the nastyness I posted I would test
with

        cp -Rl tree1 tree2
        cd tree2
        <hack hack hack>
        find ../tree1 -mmin -<n> ... # make sure we didn't mess up original tree

So far this seems to work for me.
