 OpenSSH's SFTP server recently (in version 5.7) added a
 [https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1555 hardlink extension],
 and there is a
 [http://www.miek.nl/blog/archives/2011/02/19/hardlink_support_in_sshfs/index.html
 patch to support it in sshfs].

 Hardlinks are closer in semantics to the links that Tahoe directories have
 to their children, than are symlinks. So we might want to support this
 even though we do not support symlinks (yet).
