chmod: create a new file when flags are set on a hardlinked file

For performance reasons we have several repositories where the files in the working
directory of 1 repo are hardlinks to the files of the other repo
When an update in one repo results in a chmod of a such a file, the hardlink
has to be deleted and replaced by a regular file to make sure that the change
does not happen in the other repo
