<br>Thanks, all, for the responses. <br><br>Dave, the afaik Tomboy files are all XML text, so no problem there. Same for ODF docs. The branch thing might be a problem for my resume scenario. I don't think I want a ton of repositories; I'd rather have just one. But I guess I'll have to try it and see. <br>
<br>Keith, I took a look at Bazaar. I didn't consider it because I thought it was Linux only, and I had an unmentioned requirement to work in Mac, linux and Windows. But it looks like an easier Mac install than Mercurial. <br>
<br>So despite telling myself to just pick one and get on with it, I think I may try Bazaar on Mac and I've already added Mercurial to my Ubuntu laptop. <br><br>Thanks again,<br><br>py<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

</div>Don't know about Mercurial and binaries, but Git can be convinced to<br>
diff binary files in a way that you may find useful. See the "Diffing<br>
Binary Files" section at <a href="http://progit.org/book/ch7-2.html" target="_blank">http://progit.org/book/ch7-2.html</a><br>
