CarrierwaveSingleStore
======================

This plugin helps carrierwave(https://github.com/jnicklas/carrierwave) saving images/docs with same content on one place once, even if you have different names. It was developed for the models that can save the same(same content) files but in different records, saving disk space.


Imagine:
item = Item.find(3)
item.id #3
item.name #table
item.image #1234567_hex.jpg
item.image_url #uploads/item/image/12/34/56/1234567_hex.jpg

otherItem = Item.find(5)
otherItem.id #5
otherItem.name #other table
otherItem.updae_tattributes(:image=>'web_image_but_same_content.jpg')
otherItem.image #1234567_hex.jpg
otherItem.image_url #uploads/item/image/12/34/56/1234567_hex.jpg

#these two records have different data, but with identical content files. CarrierWave::SingleStore holds one file for both records, saving space disk
