It shouldn't touch old revisions - at least not per default.
It should see (on commit!) that a file with the same data is already present
and simply "link" to it.

I'm not sure whether it works with *different* repositories.

Well, if they're complete different installations *I'd* (*personally*) go for
different repositories.
But as my machines are all debian (unstable) derived (regardless how they are
used - fileserver, webserver, ...) they have a lot in common, and so a single
repository wins.
