According to this, http://svn.haxx.se/users/archive-2008-03/0376.shtml svn handles binary diffs efficiently. I suspect that it would likewise handle zip -0 even more sensibly. Merging diffs may still be a problem. We could presumably save as zip if the user selects compressed, and save as base64 if the user does not select compression. Then zip/unzip states would be as the user expects from prior versions of lyx. -- John C. McCabe-Dansted PhD Student University of Western Australia
