checknlink: use two testfiles (issue2543) Preventing file loss repository corruption (e.g. vanished changelog.i) when Mercurial pushes to repositories on Windows shares served by Samba. This is a workaround for Samba bug 7863, which is present in current latest stable Samba 3.5.6 and various prior versions down to 3.0.26a (the oldest one I tested). Of course this should be fixed in Samba, but there probably aren't that many other applications who use hardlinks that extensively and keep files open like Mercurial, so the pressure to fix this on Samba is probably not that high. And even if the Samba project should be able to fix their bug within a month or two, it will take quite some time until users upgrade their Samba installs.
