Christina, in case you are using a unix, I am finishing up a virtual
filesystem that detects when the working and pristine copies are
identical, and stores them just once. It's not quite at what I want to
call v1.0 yet, but v0.9 is stable as far as I know:
http://scord.sourceforge.net/
v1.0 will include OSX support (already checked in) and probably a few
other improvements.
There are some tradeoffs that come with scord (or at least, the current
implementation), like slower file system syscalls, but it might nonetheless
be interesting for you? The scord website describes the tradeoffs.
I definitely plan to announce v1.0 here.
