Maybe small binaries do xdelta well and the above is a moot point.
If I am reading it correctly, diff-delta copes fine with smallish
binary files that have not changed much. Converting to hex would
only hurt.
How do I check the history size of a binary? IOW, how to I check the
size of the sum of all the delta-compressions and root blob of a binary?
That way I can sample different binary types to get a symptomatic idea
of how well they are delta compressing. I suspect that compiled
binaries will compress well (efficient history) and graphics files may
not compress well (large history).
