+;;; symlink-manager cares about configuration files: it backs up files
+;;; created by user, removes symlinks and directories created by a
+;;; previous generation, and creates new directories and symlinks to
+;;; configuration files according to the content of files/ directory
+;;; (created by home-files-service) of the current home environment
+;;; generation.
