Set the hidden flag according to the latest name when hide_dot_files is set

When the hide_dot_files option is set, a file is marked hidden if the
first character in its name is a dot. This patch updates the hidden flag
when the file is renamed or hard linked (useful for text editors which
create files with a temporary name)
