You make the call.

I had a file, call it Foo, in folder Bar.  I made an alias of Foo
called Foo.alias.  Then I wanted to back up Foo, so I dragged Foo from
Bar into a folder called Bar.Backup.  Yup, forgot to hold down the
option key... damn!  So now Foo is in Bar.Backup.  OK, no problem.  I
option-drag Foo back into Bar.  So now: original Foo is in Bar.Backup,
copy of Foo (also called Foo) is in Bar.

OK, time to panic... almost forgot about the alias!!  I get info on
Foo.alias, ask it to find the original file, and it pulls up... the
copy of Foo in folder Bar!

Well, I guess this was what I wanted (it corrected my mistake :-), but
I don't think this is right.  What do you all think?
