That's a good question indeed. I usually just backup $HOME/var/camlistore when it's a bunch of data that I need to work on a CL and that is too long to recreate, so i can use it as a source again whenever I need to. But yeah that does involve camtool sync or rsync over the source, which is what you want to avoid.
I haven't tested union, but it does seem to be what you want. So if removing blobs is what's missing for you, wouldn't it be easy enough to just add the implementation for it?
