What's this about hardlinking, btw? I just followed your instructions, and my files in the working copy do not appear to be hardlinks to the ones in my local git clone. And gladly so, in principle I wouldn't want MacPort's patches to be applied to that local clone (so that I won't have to undo them before syncing with the remote repo) ...
