> Reproduction:
> 1. Create revision library, sparse and greedy
> 2. tla get ...-patch-101
> 3. tla get ...-patch-100

> Expected result:
> Same as if 2 and 3 where reversed. Files which are identical between 
> patch-100 and patch-101 are hardlinked, saving space on disk.
>
> Actual result:
> From what I see (I may be wrong), patch-100 gets added fully as new 
> files, no hard linkes are used.

> Importace:
> Significant waste for large trees (n00MB). Easy to run into with sparse
