Was your message to turn off hard-linking motivated by this email, or is
this a separate issue?

If I understand correctly, this thread was about the fact that
permissions of hashed files can be changed 'at a distance' due to hard
linking.

In the other message, you found a workaround involving making _darcs
world readable.  Is the spooky action problem still relevant, then?

Thanks,
