OK by me.  (I was thinking the guideline limit is more than 68.)

But that text suggests that a new file is always used.  Using "any hard link" or
"a hard link" is a bit better, suggesting that the new file thing is conditional
on there being a hard link.

Maybe this (66 chars)?

Non-nil means write new file if `buffer-file-name' is hard-linked.
