Bug ID: 85660
Summary: fodt files unnecessarily hostile to git
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Libreoffice
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
I was very happy to find that LO supported a textual file format, because it
made LO documents compatible with git, and I could diff document versions.
When I actually tried putting fodt documents into git, I found that the diffs
are practically useless because numerous arbitrary numeric identifiers are
arbitrarily changed from one save to the next. I don't think this is a fault
of the file format. Rather, it appears that LO randomly re-assigns the numbers
for no outwardly visible reason.
This is a request to preserve "rsid" numbers and text:style-name assignments in
fodt files across loads and saves in cases where there is no objectively sound
reason not to.
It would help, too, to limit line lengths to some smallish multiple of 100
bytes where possible, broken preferentially at XML lexeme boundaries.
