=Introduction=

The asset service stores practically all sim data (textures, scripts, etc.). Many assets are exact duplicates of existing assets, except stored under a different asset ID (and occasionally different metadata).

This feature would be to create an asset service which stores hashes of all assets, enabling duplicate assets to be detected and only one copy stored.
