The second occurence is in `IkiWiki::Render::refresh`. There things are a little more complicated (to say the least) and a lot of stuff happens. To put it in broad terms, first it does a `IkiWiki::Render::scan` and then a `IkiWiki::Render::render`. The last two call `srcfile()` appropriately (where i put an extra symlink check), except for `will_render()` in `scan`, which I can't figure out right now and that seems to have a lot of global side effects. It still looks fairly safe at first glance. The `rcs_get_current_rev`, `refresh`, `scan` and `rendered` hooks are also called in there, but I assume those to be safe, since they are called with sanitized values already. + +The patch does work: the files get picked up from the underlay and properly hardlinked into the target `public_html` directory!
