Despite the fact that I've never used hardlinks in a git repository, I would have expected git to keep them. So I'm one of the "others" who thinks this config option is just sane (and should perhaps even be enabled by default, if it does not break stuff on file systems that do not have a hardlink feature... but ok)

Regards,
  Stephan
