> does anyone have an example of a case where compression and uniquing are required?
the compression is nice to have of course but the uniqing is very
neat. I have always though of it as plan9's answer to CSV et al.
When you do a release of a software package you copy the files to
a new directory with the name of the release (the equivilent of
tagging your release in CVS) - and continue working. this tne takes
up the space for the directory entries and all releases are always
available. branching is trivial (dircp) only a pretty merge tool
is missing - I have diff3 from edition7 in my contrib area
but some sort of interactive differencting GUI tool would be very
hand somtimes.
have I drifted off topic I wonder...
