I see, though the hardlink warning is a bit much.

$ git-clone /path/on/fs/one /path/on/fs/two
Initialized empty Git repository in /path/on/fs/two/.git/

True; -l is not given explicitly in your example.  Should be
trivial to fix.

Ah, indeed, I had assumed that it came from cpio (which also uses the -l
flag!), but reading the code, it's us. Given that "-l" is now the
default, and we silently downgrade to copying anyway, I don't see the
point of having any warning at all. Unless, I guess, for those people
who are still using "-l" even though it's a noop.
