Yes, I am unconcerned about the size - the date stamp changes on every ‘change’ to the schematic - even if there is actually no material change to the design. Adding an incidental file to the project, or even opening the project file is considered a ‘change’ and tracked by a change to the date

I agree that choices made in the design of Kicad are unhelpful in this regard but the format is unlikely to change anytime soon. There is a good reason for one of the issues - components need annotation to generate a net list and it is acceptable to change the annotation between iterations.

[fossil-users] Smudge and clean equivalents?

2017-06-11 Thread John Pateman
Is there any way to implement functionality equivalent to git smudge and clean in fossil? I would like to use fossil for a number of Kicad electronic projects. Kicad uses simple text files for describing the schematic and circuit layout so is a very suitable candidate for version control.
