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

["Alex Riesen" <raa.lkml@gmail.com>]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 425 bytes --]

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.

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