I had a similar problem of attempting to merge various backups.  At
the time I did some web searching and found a program called fslint.

http://www.pixelbeat.org/fslint/

It works pretty well, but it still takes time to decide which file to
delete and such.  Actually, because I have a lot of duplicates I have
yet to finish it.  For now space is cheap so I can deal with
duplication, but I would like to fix it so I can better organize
things.

I really am willing to provide the beer and pizza if Stephen is
willing to take part in realizing his git idea.  Plus, it will give me
a good excuse to learn more about git ;-)
