OK, I've found a solution working even if I want to edit a file of given
path where path~ does exist.

I've just changed the way the hard linked file is name, instead of
"#{path}~" i name it npath with, as a starting point i let :
npath="#{path}~"

and if npath allready exist i change it to :
npath="#{npath}~"
              ^_________ notice the "n" here

then I changed the lines 97/104 to :
    npath="#{path}~"
    if File.exist? path
      while File.exist? npath
        npath="#{npath}~"
      end
      puts "Creating hard link from #{path} to #{npath}." if
$settings.verbose
      File.link(path, npath)
    end


and here, suppose i do have both files "~/bin/menu.zsh"
and "~/bin/menu.zsh~" where I want to remote edit "~/bin/menu.zsh",
internally (of rmate-test) the npath would be in this
case "~/bin/menu.zsh~~" (with two ~) which doesn't exist.

that makes the rmate-test working :
yt at D620 /home/yt $ rmate-test -v bin/menu.zsh
yt at D620 /home/yt $ Connect: ‘220 imyt.local RMATE TextMate (Darwin 11.4.0)’
Saving bin/menu.zsh
Creating hard link from bin/menu.zsh to bin/menu.zsh~~.
Closed bin/menu.zsh
Done

yt at D620

see attached rmate-test, the modified rmate.
