The thing is: these editors do what they do for a reason. Which is exactly the second reason. When a user makes hard links, it is not just for fun and bullocks. It is not for copy-on-write either, that's not what hard links are supposed to do. It is for cases when you need the _same_ information in two places. I am not that big a user of hard links myself, but when I do, I know exactly what I am doing. And with my patch and that config variable set to true, Git will not interfer with that.
