Maybe I'm just unreasonably paranoid, but I don't think I could ever trust that you'd never find an arbitrary separator in the data. I suppose if you scanned the files beforehand you could come up with something guaranteed to be unique, but that seems like a pain (and doesn't happen regardless in patch 9/9; it just uses "--------------GITCATFILESEPARATOR-----------") If I were committing to SVN, it's sure not something I'd like to bet the integrity of my data on. I think a far more reasonable output format for multiple objects would be something like: <count> LF <raw data> LF Where <count> is the number of bytes in the <raw data> as an ASCII decimal integer. This is pretty much the spiritual analog to the fast-import "exact byte count" data input format as well. -bcd - 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
