not sure I understood exactly what you refer to, but I did just test command line concatenation, emacs, gedit, vim. All of them seem to change the file as I expected. What programs do you have in mind?

Git for a start. If you check out a different version of a header it will break the link.

Also, soft links tell you where the file came from, and make it explicit that it's in multiple locations.

If git breaks this than this use of hardlinks instead of symbolic links for individual files needs to change for Modular Boost back to using symbolic links for files also. Needless to say it is also consistent with the symbolic links to directories and is apparent in Explorer in Windows.
