I kind of do more or less the same, but using the program fdupes:

b=""
fdupes tmp/ --recurse | \
  while read f
    do
      if [ "$f" = "" ]
    then
      b=""
    else
      if [ "$b" = "" ]
    then
      b="$f"
    else
      rm "$f" && echo "Remove \"$f\""
      ln -v "$b" "$f"
    fi
  fi
done
