COW links can do this already, I think. Of course, you'll have to use a
filesystem that supports them.

COW is nice if the filesystem supports them, but my userspace code needs to be filesystem agnostic. Because of that, the design for userspace simply doesn't allow arbitrary writes.

Instead, I have to painfully audit every rpm %post/dpkg postinst type script to ensure they break hardlinks, and furthermore only allow executing scripts that are known to do so.

But I think even in a btrfs world it'd still be useful to mark files as content-immutable.
