It's pretty rare to put office docs into version control, as they are typically binary instead of text. So, doesn't work well. Perhaps there is a version of open-doc that doesn't use the zip file but a folder of XML instead? Also the XML might need to be optimized to prefer line-oriented operations.

- skybrian 3y agoYes, it's rare to use git, but it's also pretty well-known that people can share more than they intended in a Word document. Perhaps true of Open Office as well?
