"Cloning" notes is misleading, why not call it linking? #7409
-
|
Initially I thought cloning notes meant copying them, but then I saw in the wiki what actually happens. So why not call this operation linking? Since it's just like symlinks on Unix. Even that wiki pages admits repeatedly that "cloning" is a misleading term. |

I agree with the term cloning being confusing since it can be confused with duplicating. I'm not personally a fan of (hard) linking terminology since it's quite technical and mostly on the Unix/Linux side. We plan to change it as per in #4099, but we haven't reached consensus yet. |
