>Description:
	When writing sv4cpio archives, cpio puts files with hardlinks way
	too often into the archive.
>How-To-Repeat:
	$ cd /tmp
	$ mkdir d
	$ cd d
	$ echo hello >x
	$ ln x ../out
	$ ln x y
	$ find . -depth | pax -w -x sv4cpio >../a-pax
	1 block
	$ find . -depth | cpio -o -H newc >../a-cpio
	2 blocks
	$ cpio -itv <../a-bax
	-rw-r--r--   3 leo	wheel		6 Aug  6 17:43 ./x
	-rw-r--r--   3 leo	wheel		6 Aug  6 17:43 ./y
	drwxr-xr-x   2 leo	wheel		0 Aug  6 17:43 .
	-rw-r--r--   3 leo	wheel		6 Aug  6 17:43 ./x
	-rw-r--r--   3 leo	wheel		6 Aug  6 17:43 ./y
	1 block
	$ cpio -itv <../a-cpio
	drwxr-xr-x   2 leo	wheel		0 Aug  6 17:48 .
	-rw-r--r--   3 leo	wheel		0 Aug  6 17:48 y
	-rw-r--r--   3 leo	wheel		6 Aug  6 17:48 x

Note that while cpio is better than pax, it still doesn't handle this
correctly. When reading in this archive, the directory modification time
will be wrong in the cpio case as well.
