Not really important anymore, but it's interesting to note that nlinks()
happens to not being called when running setup.py, because nlinks() is
only called in the opener for file modifications that aren't 'w'rites
and not atomictemp (typically: 'a', 'a+').

nlinks() is basically only needed when changesets are added to a repo.

You can even do 'hg update' without touching nlinks (because on 'w'rite
we delete the files to break hardlinks).
