When you commit changes, though, it has to treat it as a completely changed binary file - utterly opaque, and it destroys your space savings too. Normal source code diffs are tiny, and they're readable. Check out the history of this file; you can easily see every change I've made: https://github.com/Rosuav/ExceptExpr/commits/master/find_except_expr.py Click on any commit to see what happened there. It's hard to do that with .tar.gz blobs. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
