Having a working -L option would be awesome! I think that the above
algorithm would cause a lot of I/O if the files to link are big (order
of GBs). Maybe we can check if the files are on 2 different FSes and
not trying to hardlink them? I know it can cause a race condition, but
probably better than copying gigs around
