Interesting. THe one other potential hitch that comes to mind is the file
locking/deletion issue that forces Lucene to use a "deletable" file on
Windows -- I wonder if there would be any problematic interactions between
that code path and hardlinks?
Yes, the behavior seems different (under cygwin at least). I can't
get an open file to delete, even if it's a hard link to the original
file opened.
The rsync dist method relies on being able to delete open files and
replace them with new versions. Bummer.
