The fact is, even without "-s", a local clone will do hardlinks for the
database. And since the original pack-file is marked as a 'keep' file,
that original pack-file won't even be broken apart.

Then again, Pidgin is, among other things, a Windows project. I.e. hardlinks are not exactly trivial. There's a good chance nobody jumped through the hoops of junction points for git on win32... (Somebody correct me if I'm wrong)

Windows does hardlinks for files since NT 3.51 on NTFS. Cygwin supports it too.  Symbolic links are another story.
