Hi,
Append capability is the thing I'm currently adding to Squashfs. Once
finished, you'll be able to add new files/directories to the top level
directory of a previously created filesystem. As the mksquashfs program
performs duplicate file checking against the files in the filesystem as
well as the files being added, this means it will also work as a kind of
incremental archiving filesystem.
An initial release should be ready in a week (or two depending on free
time).
