Symlinks wont fit here, as the userland sees them as links (and treats
them as such). What you're looking for is some solution that does the cow
stuff hidden from the normal userland. Perhaps via unionfs or something
fuse-based.

BUT: I'd first raise the question if your tree needs to be that big
at all. Perhaps it should be splitted into several smaller ones.
What actually does your tree make that big ?
