Interestingly enough, I tried using a custom diff for the first time earlier today and came to the exact same conclusion (I was diff'ing photos that were tagged with exif keywords). I suspect a large number of diff engines will simply want to convert content into a canonical text format. I wonder if you could simply use a "diff-filter" attribute that would clean and smudge in the same way as "filter", except it would only do so when creating or applying diffs. In most cases, you wouldn't have a "clean" component (since the conversion to text is lossy). -Peff - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
