+Subject: [PATCH] Mksquashfs: add -no-hardlinks option
+
+Normally Mksquashfs will detect hardlinks (multiple files with the
+same inode) and hardlink them in the Squashfs image.
+
+But often hardlinks are used in the original filesystem
+to save space, when files are discovered to be duplicate.
+In this special case the only reason the files are
+hardlinked is to save space, and where the filesystem
+doesn't handle duplicate files (different inode, same
+data).
+
+Squashfs does handle duplicate files, and so add
+an option to ignore hardlinks and instead
+store them as duplicates.
+
