If sshfs supports hardlinks (a cursory search suggests that it doesn't)
and "somefile" has not changed, then `stat 2009_02_10-1511/somefile`
and `stat 2009_03_05-1110/somefile` should report the same inode and a
link count of 2 (or more). This inode will be a different number than
on your live file system, but should be the same within the backup
tree.
