I have a few qualms with this app:
1. For a Linux user, you can already build such a system yourself quite trivially by getting an FTP account, mounting it locally with curlftpfs, and then using SVN or CVS on the mounted filesystem. From Windows or Mac, this FTP account could be accessed through built-in software.
... I'm kidding, this is quite useful.
I really wish that NFSv3 and Linux had built-in file hashing ioctls that could delegate some of this expensive work to the backend as it would make it much easier to use something like this as a backup accelerator.

Tell me a bit more about what you mean here. We're interested in really pushing the limits of what a storage system can do, so I'd be potentially interested.
