By the same reasoning you can invade an unsuspecting country, saying that 
everybody will be better off afterwards.  But the risk is high, not 
because of the probability, but because of the cost to pay if it does not 
work out.

Really, I'd rather have this be done right.  So I am quite happy with 
Junio being "girly" (which I would have called cautious and nice-to-users, 
as well as considerate, though).

In the end I would be so much happier not to have hard links at all, 
and it seems that all the "easy" SCMs out there are quite well off without 
hard links, too.

To me, it is mighty annoying anybody brings up that "144 commands" 
argument Linus was referring to, and if there is _any_ way to shut up 
those bikeshedders, I am all for it.

But if that is not possible, so be it.

Ciao,
Dscho
