I'm curious about what keephardlinks means.
If I do: "ln X Y ; git add Y ; git commit" in my origin and then
"git pull" in my cloned repository,
should I get a hard linked file in the clone
when core.keephardlinks is set to true?
Cheers,
Geoff Russell

Nope.
It means that if you have a hard link locally, it will stay a hard link
(and if it is modified, the other linked files will obviously change,
too).
Note that this feature is not even in 'next'.
