 > Doesn't this break hard links?

 Yes, it does. Reverted in r98737 because of this regression.

 > And how much does it affect activation time, particularly on slower
 systems?

 It makes it slower by more than a factor of 10, apparently. One example:

 file move:
 {{{
 sudo port -v activate git-core  1.98s user 0.68s system 80% cpu 3.305
 total
 }}}
 ditto:
 {{{
 sudo port -v activate git-core  21.35s user 15.62s system 91% cpu 40.362
 total
 }}}
