Ah, finally ...

If you use these options with `tla get' will that somehow be remembered,
and reflected in future updates/replays?  If not, what happens?

What about using `--link' (short -l), like the cp command, instead of
`--hard-links'?  Besides the commonality, and the difference in length
[I don't think `hard' is a very important attribute to emphasize -- as
with cp and ln, symbolic links are the exception], there's the issue of
whether options are `descriptive' or `imperative' -- I find obviously
imperative options like `--link' a lot more natural (a similar case
occurs with `tla changes --diffs' -- I constantly find myself typing
--diff instead, despite having used that command zillions of times).

Thanks,
