Is this where I point out that MS Windows does not support hard links at
all? And hard links between different volumes are not possible.
I guess my real point is: while hard links are a great optimization when
available, it doesn't seem wise to count on them being available. The
system needs to work "reasonably" in other cases. Perhaps it already
does, but I don't want us to forget the poor MS Windows users.
My current biggest frustration with darcs is that each branch requires
its own (full) repo. Since the model encourages copious branching, I am
concerned about the mental logistics of managing multiple repos, and
secondarily about the space they may consume.
