def link_entry(src, dest, dereference_root = false, remove_destination = false)
Entry_.new(src, nil, dereference_root).traverse do |ent|

File.unlink destent.path if remove_destination && File.file?(destent.path)

Hard links a file system entry src to dest. If src is a directory, this method links its contents recursively.
Both of src and dest must be a path name. src must exist, dest must not exist.
If dereference_root is true, this method dereferences the tree root.
If remove_destination is true, this method removes each destination file before copy.
