I got a suprising error message:

$ cd /tmp/
$ git clone ~/some/repository
Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/repository/.git/
Warning: -l asked but cannot hardlink to /home/moy/some/repository/.git
Yup, we already discussed when we switched to defaulting to -l,
but nobody cared enough to get around to patch the warning.

Untested but something like this should suffice...

By the way, could you possibly drop Mail-Followup-To: please?
