What if I promise not to tell anyone? :)

Anyway, I don't think it will be a problem. You think it might. But I
suspect neither of us has anything more than a gut feeling to argue
with. And now I have registered my complaint, so you can do what you
think is best.

I can, of course, always make my own hardlinks (which is really the same
thing, except the "trick" is slightly harder to perform and perhaps less
socially acceptable; OTOH, if such a trick is common, perhaps it means
taking away the dash forms wasn't such a good idea after all).

Jeff [runs git-blame]: It must have been Junio! :)
