Why is that? Does 8-bit data break Git somehow? A key is a small file. It doesn't bloat the repository like a tarball would. When a key needs replacing, the new key is entirely different whether it's ASCII-armored or not, so there's nothing to gain by storing a diff instead of the whole file. ASCII-armor is for sending messages over old 7-bit protocols, just like Base64 and UUencoding. In 8-bit-clean channels ASCII-armor doesn't accomplish anything other than making the message slightly larger. I can't believe that Git wouldn't be 8-bit-clean. Björn Persson
