Subject: scripts/cp-noerror: Try and use hardlinks if possible
Date: Thu, 11 Oct 2012 13:36:53 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1349959013.14368.13.camel@ted> (raw)

Since we generally have lots of copies of the directories created using this tool, use
hardlinks where possible. This should save a little disk space and improve performance
slightly.
