LGTM. I wonder if we should have a tiny comment that says we use -n for broader portability (since the -h is documented in the man page as the canonical option).

Or maybe we could add Portable scripts may wish to use -n instead of -h . to the -n description in ln's manpage?

Possibly s/understood/supported/ in the commit message, but that's a minor nit.
