some implementations of cp can't create hardlinks
$ cat > cp.py <<EOF

Test hardlinking outside hg:
$ mkdir x
$ echo foo > x/a
$ python cp.py x y
$ echo bar >> y/a
No diff if hardlink:
$ diff x/a y/a
Test mq hardlinking:
$ echo "[extensions]" >> $HGRCPATH
$ echo "mq=" >> $HGRCPATH
$ hg init a
$ cd a
