It's actually a bit worse than that. My app wasn't finding files that
were duplicated more than once.
Running a simple de-dupe utility on output/host reduced disk space
from 928MB to 556MB.
That app is pretty conservative: it only links files that have the
same name, the same parent directory name, and differing top
directory names.
