As far as I can see, it just gives the same warnings as the original code did (I changed it after noticing a failure in the "binary" testset package for binary-without-manpage, where hello.static and hello-static are hardlinked). The original index-walking code doesn't differentiate between hardlinks and "normal" files as far as I can see - both would have index entries beginning with "-" and the "link to" text is generally removed while walking the list. Unless I'm mistaken, that would suggest that the code's /always/ been buggy for generating the same warning twice, for the hardlink and the hardlinked file; if that's the case then I'm more than happy to change the tests back to ignoring hardlinks.
