Hi, Dale,

I do some experiments on Linux kernel.

1. Download 3.17.7 and 3.18.1 from kernel.org
 
    commit the source into branch 3.17.7 and 3.18.1 which branched from an 
empty master branch.

2. git ls-tree --full-tree -r -l both branch. 

    The result shows if the two file content is the same. The blob hash is 
the same.    
    The same file won't occupy extra space.

I will check what's wrong with my android upgrade. Thanks for the help.
