Ah, yes - I'd forgotton that. When the pristine file already exists in plain text, it's not a big problem to return its path even though we can't promise how long it will live. But if pristine texts are stored compressed and so we have to create a temp file in order to support that API, when would we delete the temp file? That was the big concern. - Julian > The deprecation of this api is most likely part of removing this dependency. > > Bert
