When I heard that the SVN guys were planning symlinks, I took the two
days of effort to put them into Meta-CVS. It took some huffing and
puffing, but it was worth it. I ended up using them in a couple of
projects.
Meta-CVS could in principle support hard links as well. I can visualize
quite crisply how it would work, but I currently have no incentive to
do the work.
If I think that something is useful to the product (i.e. *I* can use it
myself, or it provides some strategic advantage) then I might put it
in.
It shouldn't take more than around four 40 hour developer-weeks to do
it (and I mean do it right, so that every operation is properly aware
of hard link support, including ``mcvs grab'').
