I should also mention that there are totally valid reasons why the dir might be huge on day4. For instance, if someone changed the mode on the files from 664 to 644 then the files cannot be hard-linked together even if the file's data is unchanged. The same goes for differences in preserved xattrs, acls, and ownership. In such a case you could decide that you don't care about the change in meta info and tweak it on the earlier files to match day4's files and then the suggested re-link command would decide it could join them together. You'd probably then need to keep going and re-link day5's pictures (since it was probably linking to the old day4's pictures).
