Do you need a hard link? Can't you just copy the file at the right time?

At first, we wanted to test how links handle textconv but it behaves
as regular file so the test is not really relevant. It will be
deleted.

You do want to test what happens for _symbolic_ links (stored as blob
whose content is the target of the link IIRC). You probably don't want
to run the textconv filter on link targets. I guess you meant "ln -s"
here.
