Git hook for pre-commit being invoked but hardlinks failing

Question

Please look at my answer here: Git and hard links

I tried to put the same script in pre-commit, but somehow the hard links are not being created.

The script is indeed executed (i.e. an echo inside it proves that).

I tried to run the same ln manually in repository root folder and same command works this way.

Thanks for your attention.

You should look at your accepted answer on the other question: https://stackoverflow.com/a/3731139/383402 .

The hard links are being created, and then git is destroying them as part of the commit.
