Julian Foad created SVN-4702:
--------------------------------
Summary: Binary delta format for git diff and patch
Key: SVN-4702
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SVN-4702
Project: Subversion
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Julian Foad
Priority: Major
svn diff --git handles "binary" (non-text) files currently by emitting a simple
format called "GIT binary patch : literal" that contains the whole of the old
file (encoded into text) plus the whole of the new file (encoded into text).
That works but is slow and space-hungry.
It should use "GIT binary patch : delta" format instead.
Git commit "[binary diff: further
updates.|https://github.com/git/git/commit/0660626caff6ac3745cd7b7908a2ca540141a2ec]";
introduced this format; I cannot find any other documentation.
