I've not had any issues I've noticed with hard links using my build, and
I've been fetching using the git:// protocol; I'm pretty sure that uses
git-receive-pack.
I want to try performing a minimal installation next, to check I've got
the dependency list correct, so that may highlight what the problem here
is.
The only difference between my process and the one Steven suggested is I
added a -a switch to the tar call, but that seems to be redundant now.
