I'd like to move some folders on my computer to a compressed read/write images, so I could get it to take less disk space on my machine (the folders contain some Mercurial and Git repositories). Because I am not using these repositories daily, I'd prefer to have mounting them manually using FUSE.

So far, I've found how to create an empty btrfs filesystem: 

dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/empty bs=1 count=0 seek=100M
mkfs.btrfs /tmp/empty

How do I mount this folder? When I type $ fusermount /tmp/empty I get fusermount: old style mounting not supported.

    Hello from the future. Just wanted to point out that git archives are already compressed so you will not have gained much space. – ggll Nov 08 '18 at 10:23

looks like you may need to get another package to do that fusecompress is the command listed here.
