When doing local darcs get <dir1> <dir2> on AFS filesystem, hardlinks
between different directories can't be created.
But darcs doesn't complain about this and finishes darcs get without any
warning, leaving <dir2> with no pathes.
>From strace:
link( ..., ...)  = -49733393

which is very strange, b/c allowed return values are 0 or -1.
I think that darcs get should detects the link failure and do a copy
instead.
Another solution could be option --no-link for 'get' and other 'linking'
commands.
