thanks. I just browsed the docs, this seems at least like a good
starting point. Is there some example of a content filter somewhere? I
checked my locally installed plugins, and there doesn't seem to be any.

Assuming I get the content filter working, I would change the read
operation to fetch the actual file from the server and the write to
store only the hash plus transferring the file contents if the hash is
not yet known on the server side. For this, I need communication with
the server. Is it possible to hook the bzr transport layer for this? Or
should I make that completely separate and use my own transport method?

Cheers,
