Personally I think the hardlink scheme works pretty well up to about
the scale that I'd want on a single machine and you get a badly needed
atomic operation with links more or less for free. If you are going
to do things differently, wouldn't it make sense to use one of the
naturally distributed scalable databases (bigcouch, riak, etc.) for
storage from the start since anything you do is going to involve
re-inventing the atomic operation of updating a link or replacing it
and the big win would be making this permit concurrent writes from
multiple servers?
