We don't have any plans for hard-link support in the filesystem, as
far as I know, actually. It's dangerous in Subversion for the same
reasons its dangerous in a regular filesystem -- we need to prevent
cycles.
Of course, it *could* be done. There are just no plans now, since the
easiest (though not the only) way to prevent cycles is to simply avoid
operations that make them possible. :-)
