Or maybe you would look at a *not-so-compact* mmap()able on-disk representation, to allow for painless updates. You really will want to avoid having to write out large files just because a small part of them changed. We learn that lesson the hard way, from having to write 350MB worth of .git/index for every single, painful `git add` operation. Ciao, Dscho
