I suspect that the reason was because the cover letter was poorly written that people did not realize the need for it. > Makefile: add a knob to turn off hardlinks within same directory [6] I think the real fix for this issue should be either made in btrfs or even better "tar x", instead of forcing everybody who consumes a tarball to use symlink or copies. That is, work-around should be made when a _particular_ recipient wants to extract a tarball that stores hardlinks to the same inode than the filesystem the recipient _happens_ to be trying to extract it on, not before.
