AFAIK that won't save space in git, in fact it will probably use more due to the lack of compression and the fact that git commits aren't diffs, they're just commonly displayed as if they are.

Actually, it should (precisely _because_ of Git's approach to storing blobs) but that's besides the point. Saving space had nothing to do with the motivation for the earlier comment.
