(Which admittedly is a bit odd. The reason I didn't ever seriously even 
consider monotone was that the initial import was so *incredibly* sucky, 
and took hours for the kernel. So use "-l" for benchmarks, and damn my 
"I hate hardlinking repos" idiocy).

I would call aversion to -l a superstition, while aversion to -s
has a sound technical reasons.  The latter means you need to know
what you are doing --- namely, you are making the clone still
dependent on the original.

Well, I'd not call the -l aversy a complete superstition: it means
that cloning a repository won't provide any redundancy worth noting
against file system corruption.
