(Arguably the latter point ought to be "forces Unix users to use the
same interface as on Windows", but the git-foo forms have been
deprecated on all platforms for a while.  Making Unix and Windows the
same seems a worthwhile goal, though presumably it's irrelevant for
linux kernel people.)

I actually checked, and my msysgit installation does hardlinking (or at
least pretends to do, and ls -l shows high linkcounts). And somewhat
amusingly, it doesn't appear that 1.6.0 will be released for Windows
anytime soon, though that's of course not relevant from long term
perspective.
