>From the very quick and unscientific test that I just did, it doesn't
appear that git commits hard links, it just collapses them into
separate regular files (presumably to avoid changes in one place
mucking things up elsewhere without git knowing about it). I don't
think it makes much sense to stash hardlinks if the policy is to
forget them in commits.
