14:40.27 crazy_imp heyho
14:41.38 crazy_imp is there a recommended way to use mged and some kind of revision control system? (.g files are not text, which is a little bit ugly to use with svn for example)
14:51.12 ``Erik if you want to use svn, you can always do g2asc on the .g to check it in, then asc2g to get the .g back
15:13.38 crazy_imp ``Erik: ok, thanks :)
15:14.21 crazy_imp (but now the question emerges, what's inside the .g files too?)
15:24.46 ``Erik huh?
15:25.18 ``Erik .asc is an ascii representation of the .g file, convert and look :D
15:40.38 crazy_imp if it really is, where's the advantage of a .g file?
15:40.58 crazy_imp (it's even bigger then the .asc one)
15:49.30 ``Erik bigger? O.o must be in need of collection.. usually the .g is smaller, loads much faster, and is the native format for BRL-CAD
15:50.57 crazy_imp collection = comb foo u bar - gnah ?
16:50.41 brlcad crazy_imp: if it's bigger, your .g file either just doesn't have much in it yet or you've added and deleted more than you've added (in which case the space just hasn't yet been reclaimed)
16:51.26 brlcad either way, modern revision control will deal with binary deltas just fine if you put the .g file into a system
16:51.52 brlcad svn will perform the binary diff and store only the changed portions -- you just can't svn diff
16:52.03 brlcad same with several of the other dvcs now

16:53.16 brlcad the .asc file will just work, is ascii, but will generally take longer to handle as you have to convert back to .g every time you load and commit, plus the file size will eventually be 10x the size or worse as the .g grows
