[PATCH] Fix use of hardlinks in "make install"

From: Alex Riesen <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 22:45:14

The code tried to create a hardlink to the file ($execdir/git-add) it just
removed, so ln failed (but because stderr was redirected into /dev/null the
error was never seen), and the whole install ended up using "ln -s" instead.

Signed-off-by: Alex Riesen <redacted>

It created endless symlink loops on cygwin, but obviously nowhere else.
