I am not sure to understand what you ask. Hardlinks and copies are not the same thing. AFAIU, if you hardlink a file to a different filename and make a change to one of these files, it will also appear in the other file. You don't have this effect with copies. If the remote file is not an hardlink, there is no point making the local file an hardlink. Are you really sure about this feature? Could you explain to me how you expect it to work?
