:So, with this unionfs could you point a samba share at a sort of a

:user could modify those default contents and see their unique version
:of that folder which only really takes up as much space as an rdiff?

You would need to setup multiple samba shares which each included the
read-only skeleton and the unique overlay.  Samba isn't smart enough
to do this on the fly based on user name (but if someone wanted to
code that up it would be cool!)

I haven't used it very much, a prudent person would check the docs for
details on how to stick the layers togather.  As I recall it was
pretty simple.

:OOC, what happens if you modify a file in the "skeleton" folder after
:several people have sort of forked it?

the forked copy would mask the changed master.  So if any file sare
modified by the user they won't see any changes to the master file.
