The hard part, of course, is coming up with useful alternative merge algorithms which work for formats that the usual merge doesn't handle. The infrastructure is mostly there (git supports declaring the types of files), but there's no point in support for running a type-specific merger until there are actually type-specific mergers to run. Do you have ideas on what formats you'd try to merge, and how? -Daniel *This .sig left intentionally blank* -- 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
