I did try to do this, and couldn't reproduce the failure.  The failure only
happens in the git context for whatever reason.  Note: To try to reproduce the
problem with a simple C program, I used exactly the same files and filenames git
had chosen in exactly the same directories.

From some older postings on this mailing list, I got the idea to try:

  MoveFileEx(<existing>, <new>, MOVEFILE_CREATE_HARDLINK);

instead of:

  CreateHardLinkA(<new>, <existing>, NULL);

in fhandler_disk_file.cc, and this actually worked for me.  I'm currently
running a cygwin1.dll with this local modification, and haven't seen problems
yet.

The funny thing is I have used canned git/cygwin successfully on other machines.
Only with this particular machine have I seen this problem.  Maybe it has to do
with some interaction with a virus-checking program or other background process.
