Also, independent changes can only be merged in text files, not binary files. And "diff" will only work for text files.
For the last two points - merge and diff - you can tell Fossil that the file is text all you want, but if it really is binary that isn't going to make the merge and/or diff algorithms work any better. You will still end up with a mess. So what is the point of this? Why is the default text/binary detection not working for Tony? -- D. Richard Hipp d...@sqlite.org
