By the way, one of the things that intrigues me is that the best open source compression tool out there is written in Haskell:
There might be some interesting advantages that a revision control tool could gain with the use of a good compression tool like that...
1. it is most efficient around all programs around, either open-source or commercial: http://www.maximumcompression.com/data/summary_mf2.php#data 2. compression libs used in freearc all written in C++. the only good thing is that i provide Haskell interface to these libs: http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Library/Compression it really may be good idea to use, say, grzip instead of bzip2 to compress patch files, but i don't think this is highly important. at least interface is simple -- Best regards, Bulat mailto:Bulat.Ziganshin@gmail.com
