A file with the character of a sym-link – and UNIX can handle that.
On a system that can't distinguish a file from a sym-link it will ask
to save the file's original contents it has read via the sym-link as
<sym-link>~ and will then ask to save the changed contents under the
name of <sym-link>. A system able to handle sym-links won't send such
requests to TRAMP, so TRAMP won't do the nonsense described.
