With the "--relative --symbolic" options, ln computes the relative
symbolic link for the user.
So, ln works just as cp, but creates relative symbolic links instead
of copying the file.
I miss this feature since the beginning of using ln.

ln: fix position of --backup values description2011-11-20T07:46:30ZErik Auerswaldauerswal@unix-ag.uni-kl.de2011-11-19T21:07:29Zurn:sha1:5d39ad6419e7084cee3cb432f58dd775997dc948
* src/ln.c (usage): A paragraph describing interactions of -s
with -L and -P somehow snuck in between the description of the
--backup option and the values used to control it. Fix this by
moving the value description up.
