Related lib reflink has important fix merged but seems it's not going to be released

[shandak]

The related lib reflink is quite old and has a bug described there nicokoch/reflink#4 so the same issue happens when I'm using cacache too. Would not be a problem for you to bump dependency like there bczhc/rust@e9df2ba to the master branch?

unfortunately, I can't publish git dependencies to crates.io, so the only way I would be able to do this is if a "forked" version of reflink with the patch applied were published to crates.io, or the original author actually releasing a new version.

I did a fix like that in Cargo.toml

[replace]
ttps://github.com/nicokoch/reflink/issues/4
"reflink:0.1.3" = { git = "https://github.com/nicokoch/reflink", rev = "e8d93b46" }

I'd honestly reconsider depending on that package. It's not being maintained.

[zkat]

I'd like to keep this open, since it's definitely still an issue.

I'd love to get rid of this as a dependency, but reflink is a pretty nontrivial package, and I want access to the functionality it's providing.

It looks like there is a maintained fork here:
https://github.com/cargo-bins/reflink-copy
https://crates.io/crates/reflink-copy

Edit: Created a PR here if interested: #55
