So in the end, the hardlink-forming step has four steps:

1. (if bindir != libexecdir and NO_CROSS_DIRECTORY_HARDLINKS is unset)
   Files in libexecdir with cousins in bindir are replaced by
   hardlinks to their cousins. (patch 2)

2. Any builtins in bindir are replaced by
   hardlinks, symlinks, or copies of git.

3. Any builtins in libexecdir are replaced by
   hardlinks, symlinks, or copies of git.

4. git-remote-{ftp,http, etc} are replaced by
   hardlinks, symlinks, or of git-remote-http.

Looks good to me.

Thanks for the pleasant read,
Jonathan
