I'm not sure I like that since it is IMO not that useful. I was
considering adding hardlink resolution in the libarchive mtree writer,
but ended up not doing that due to lack of support in the mtree format
at the time. It would be trivial to extend it to do that and would cover
this problem much mor edirectly.
