No, you don't.  You make links to 200MB+ (unless you're on Windows,

It can still do hardlinks on Windows, provided the repo is on NTFS
(and I think NTFS supports only hardlinks within the same partition).

Strictly: on the same volume. (Which will generally but not always amount
to: under the same drive letter)
