While we're on the subject of SCM in general, does anyone have a 
solution for storing OpenDocument files in SCM?  For example, odt, odc, 
etc?  Normally these are just treated as binary files, which is kind of 
silly since they are just xml files in a zip file.  If the SCM could 
somehow open them, then we could do all kinds of cool diff and patchset 
stuff with the various xml files.  Currently since they are treated as 
binary files, SCMs like Subversion commit new copies of the file each 
time, rather than track changes.

Can Git deal with these files?  What about a plugin for SVN?
