Jim: Thanks again for the information, and the pointer to the article.
One last question: I like to run my project from a USB flash drive...and since Windows Explorer isn't smart enough to figure out hard links, will the bigger size that explorer thinks it sees in the Git directory cause the flash drive to appear full, even if it really isn't? That is, what if I try to copy a file to the flash drive, and explorer (mistakenly) thinks it is already full? thanks again, cjl
