Indeed, it appears that the git-gui Makefile does not respect
NO_INSTALL_HARDLINKS. The git-gui project is maintained and developed
outside of the Git project (even though it gets bundled with Git), so
it has its own issue tracker. It would probably be best to re-submit
this bug report there:

Thanks.
