------------------------------+---------------------------------------------
There is currently no clear way in Haskell to determine how much disk
space a file actually occupies on disk -- only it's apparent byte size.
Case in point, the popular git-annex tool has had to rely on a hack
because there is no way to get at the st_blocks information in the POSIX
stat record.
I recommend adding two functions to Common.hsc in unix, which are in the
attached patch.
