Yes, but in that case it couldn't hardlink the objects so you would see quite a big bump in disk usage if you have many local clones of the same repo.
That said, hardlinking is probably not all that big an advantage if you repack often, repack everywhere, and in the many-repositories cases it might be more sensible to use alternates (which is what cg-clone -l should really do instead of symlinking), so it might be well worth the sacrifice.
