Hi.
Storing binary files as deltas is helpful to keep source and binary files
together and in sync So is it possible for git to do that as svn. This is
my only pain when using git.

Yes, and git does this already in pack files. Maybe you're not
seeing it because you haven't packed anything yet. Try to run
'git gc'.

Why? Git works perfectly with binary files. In fact, some of my repos
have more binaries than text.

git-gc works perfectly! Thanks all very much.

This is also useful. 3x. However, git-gc is what I want.

Could 'git diff --binary' and 'git apply --binary' be what you're looking
for?
