Can we please use more informative titles. -f means I have to open this page to see what it's all about. Yes, that will get you views to your spamblog, but it doesn't help this site be useful, which is it's stated aim.

I don't see any connection to spam on this blog.

The title was too short for a variety of reasons (it's even a ~hard~ click target like that), but I enjoyed it.

I agree with the other reply: Complaining is probably worse than flagging it. Or - just not clicking things out of curiosity unless you genuinely want to see what 26 people at the time of this writing considered interesting.

I understand that a local clone uses hardlinks (ln without the '-s' switch). Isn't a hardlink just a pointer to the underlying file? Removing a hardlink, even with the force switch won't delete the original version of the file in e.g. the local bare repository, or am I wrong?

Yes, you can safely delete hardlinks.
