Interesting. I guess this is not the same idea as what Merijn de Jonge did a few years ago? He made a fuse implementation that mapped a user environment to a "normal" file system (so you could use that on /usr/local for example). > I thought that asking for the binary diff implementation used for > sending binary updates is faster that finding that myself.
