AFAIK .gorm files are basically binary encoded propery lists resp. object
archives ("GNUstep archive" for data.info and objects.gorm). data.classes is
already ASCII and diffable.
So you could save data.info and objects.gorm in ASCII property list format
instead of binary?
IMHO the main difference (and improvement) from NIB to XIB is that it does not
rely on the internal object serialization sequence of objects and code that
handles special cases so that this encoding can be more easily changed while
XIBs remain compatible.
