Does it try to use reflinking with `--backend=copyfile` when the FS supports it?


On macOS it explicitly uses clonefile()

On Linux, not yet. I don't have a machine that supports reflinks right now and I am hesitant to push code for this without manually testing it works. That being said, it does use copy_file_range if --backend=copyfile, which can use reflinks.
