There are some limitations:
- I didn't modify maybe_relink.c, so it doesn't work in darcs
optimize --relink.
- It breaks compatibility on Windows versions before Windows 2000.
- It works only on NTFS, but fails gracefully (it reverts to old
behaviour of copying files).
Now, I really think our Windows-supporting time is better spent on
fixing issues than to preserve compatibility with operating systems
from almost 10 years ago :).
Is support for Windows 9x/ME/NT4/NT3.x important to somebody on darcs-users?
