The sync format I am not happy with for 2.5 yet. I'm still working on
it. I needs to be compatible with 2.4. It needs a client that can be
compiled against 2.3 so people on 2.3 can safely XFER into new 2.5
instances using Ken's new nice stuff, and we need to support that
anyway, so XFER is reliable and fast for everyone.

In short, I'd rather wait a bit longer and make sure anyone who upgrades
isn't in for more nasty surprises. Sorry about that, but it's better

Within a single user it does when using replication protocol, yes. It
doesn't keep them across users, but that would be kinda hard anyway,
since the users aren't on the same server!

I don't think it did keep hardlinks before, so it will actually be an
improvement.
