Hi thanks for this. I suppose you are referring to the commit:

http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/coreutils.git/commit/?id=b47231be6813e6cb5305266e391b4bb745f27f13

and finally http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/coreutils.git/tree/src/mv.c?id=b47231be6813e6cb5305266e391b4bb745f27f13
it doesn't seem as if there was any earlier commit actually adding a
--reflink option so it seems the improvement is in-built.

That's nice to know!

Any idea when the next coreutils point release with this will be out?
