This script will replace all soft linked Bosh blobs contained in $BOSH_RELEASE_DIR/blobs with hard links. This helps solve the issue of moving blobs from a created release to a new blobstore. After this script has run `bosh blobs` should show a set of blobs ready to be uploaded to a blobstore. Note: config/blobs will probably need removed.
