Technically it seems feasible to delete all tar chunks that contain ONLY THAT
ONE file. So for a big file, this might work. However, you would have to
somehow make clear to the restore process that the left over chunks in the
first and last tar chunks (which almost always will be shared with other
files and thus cant be removed) are to be discarded for it not to get
confused.
As for implementation, I don't know enough about rdiff to comment on that.
