sshfs doesn't support hard links.  This means that the source tarball
cannot be safely extracted on sshfs filesystems.  Is there any reason
to have these hard links in the source tarball?  The files in question
get re-compiled at build time anyway (when TeX is installed).

$ grep $PWD /proc/mounts
fs:Desktop/darcs /home/twb/Desktop/darcs fuse.sshfs rw,nosuid,nodev,user_id=1187,group_id=2000,max_read=65536 0 0
$ tar zxf darcs-2.0.1rc1.tar.gz
tar: darcs-2.0.1rc1/doc/manual/img6.png: Cannot hard link to `darcs-2.0.1rc1/doc/manual/img4.png': Function not implemented
tar: darcs-2.0.1rc1/doc/manual/index.html: Cannot hard link to `darcs-2.0.1rc1/doc/manual/darcs.html': Function not implemented
