I noted that repeatedly saving the same project produces very distinct files.
Just try the following: Open some blend file. In my case, it was the BMW bemchmark from Blender's demo files. Save it twice using either "Save Copy" or "Save As". Then use LZMA compression (xz) to compare: $ ls -l bmw*.blend -rw-r--r-- 1 jonas wheel 3150509 16 Aug 18:45 bmw1.blend -rw-r--r-- 1 jonas wheel 3150587 16 Aug 18:45 bmw2.blend $ cat bmw1.blend | xz -9 | wc -c 2975856 $ cat bmw1.blend bmw1.blend | xz -9 | wc -c 2976400 $ cat bmw2.blend bmw2.blend | xz -9 | wc -c 2978000 $ cat bmw1.blend bmw2.blend | xz -9 | wc -c 5585604 It seems that most of both files is completely distinct. I'm not only trusting in xz here, I even wrote my own binary comparison tool. FYI, I disabled file compression in Blender User Preferences->File->Compress File. Could somebody give a hint on what is happening here?
