It would indeed be a great space saving feature. But I wouldn't place my bet only on md5sums, it has been proven that there -could- occur false matches. There has to be some additional checking as well, starting with the filename. The chances of a duplicate md5sum in the same filename, while having different contents, are so small I doubt it would ever occur. Yes yes, Murphy's Law, I know, but realistically... would it ever occur?
Filename match doesn't necessarly need to be a 1-1 check, but more of a pattern check, when a file is copied and renamed, a part of the original name is mostly kept.
