Hi -
I'm looking at using git for source control for qml files. I know that qml files are binary and not text - so merge is something I don't want to attempt. But it would be useful to support diff and from this git documentation http://git-scm.com/book/ch7-2.html I was wondering if there was a way to set up an external program to create the diff. For this I'd like to understand the grammar of the files. It looks like there is some type of binary header for each macro - something like
^@^@macroname^@^@<number> <number>
On one level - if I just filter out the ^@ perhaps the diffs would be meaningful enough. Would this be a good start or is there a better approach?
Thanks. I'm very new to QuickMacros (I'm working with Dr. Stuart Pomerantz).
