Good luck getting every source control engine and client to adopt your new 
format. ;-)

Developers are used to having a huge ecosystem of tools that work with 
line-oriented plain-text files. This was one of the major innovations and 
building blocks of Unix from the beginning. That’s a major reason why almost no 
one has ever used anything but human-readable plain text for source files.
