> There's also one scenario which I don't see mentioned here, which is [managing](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32253018) one's dotfiles with something like [GNU Stow](https://www.gnu.org/software/stow/manual/stow.html) (which I personally do). In such a case, I'd already have a symlink at `~/.rpmmacros` which points to my dotfiles.git repository somewhere else, which the automatic migration would break.

I stand corrected - having actually looked at this patch, it does bail out if the old files aren't regular files, which means if one has a custom symlink such as `~/.rpmmacros -> ~/.dotfiles/rpmmacros`, the migration simply wouldn't execute.
