Is Pijul something worth to look at if I am also interested in versioning binary file involving workflows? For example if I am an electronics engineer doing PCB design work? Or is it most suited for software projects with text based files?
- howling 6y agoNot an expert but I think it is only suitable for text file since most diff algorithms assume the files are made of not-very-long lines.
- pmeunier 6y agoIt depends: the main issue is the diff algorithm. Pijul's diff is not line-based, but rather "byte block"-based (which at the moment happen to be lines). This means that we could totally imagine more clever diff algorithms for specific use cases. I don't know anything about PCB design files, but an example application of this is to treat indentation and spaces as their own blocks.
