how to share a file between 2 repositories? Hardlinks?

Hi 


Here is the scenario. I have a single file that I would like to use in two repositories:

```
repo1
repo2
```

Both repositories will, however, be pushed to Helix.

Using symbolic links between the files is of little use, since the content of the symbolic link will not be transmitted.

I therefore considered using hard links. Is this a sensible approach?

I would prefer to avoid employing a subrepository, as I have encountered problems with them in the past.


Thanks
