Actually, if you have enough resources to switch on dedup
on zfs you'll catch most of the longer repeats, and
also redundancy across multiple genomes, without
having to do delta patches at application level.
Alternatively, zfs compression. Switching
on both options at the same time might or might not
be a bad idea.

Somebody should try this, and report to the group.
