I don't know enough about git delta-compression and OpenDocument, but git has better chance to efficiently delta-compress different versions of the document if they're not compressed themselves. (but that's a necessary and not sufficient condition. line-based delta-compression wouldn't work if the file is a one-line XML file for example). > "Speed-wise" is not as clear: it depends on the relation between > memory/disk bandwidth and decompression speed. Probably network operations would be faster, and checkout would be slower. I wouldn't bet ;-). -- Matthieu - 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
