Hehe! I am happy to read that I was not the only one! ;-)

Duplicate, as you did. That's what I prefer.

Patches are not that big, and if we happen to remove a version in the
future (which will inevitably happen!) we risk loosing the patch and
end up with dangling symlinks.

Hardlinks I don't know if Hg handles them at all. I guess so. But if
we were to use hardlinks and we needed to /fix/ the patch for one version,
it would impact all the others, and that might not make sense for those
other versions.

So, duplicate the patch as you did.

Mercurial anf git both handle them very well, in fact. I have other repos
with symlinks, and never got any issue with them.
