ANN: scord 1.0.0 (reduce working copy disk space)

Two sentence announcement:
scord reduces the disk usage of subversion working copies with many or large
files. scord supports Linux and Mac OS X, and is under the MIT license:
http://scord.sourceforge.net/.

Some time ago I began storing my photo album in a subversion repository,
to help avoid losing photos after a mistake (I almost did, once) and to
replicate the album across the computers I use.

However, the subversion working copy format stores two copies of each
file, making 8 GBs of data use 16 GBs of disk space. This was more space
than I had available on several computers. Subversion stories two copies
of each file for excellent reason: to support fast status and diff
operations, without network access. However, the pristine copy is redundant
when the working copy is unmodified.

scord is an overlay file system that detects when a file is unmodified
and omits the redundant copy, reducing the size of a working copy with
mostly unmodified files to just the size of the working files instead
of 2x their size. Subversion users may find the savings useful for
source code or media repositories with many and/or large files.

Feedback is very much welcome!
