Oct 7, 2009 at 15:56 comment added Corey Floyd So the objects (specifically commit objects) won't convert to plain text?
Oct 7, 2009 at 15:38 comment added Cascabel These files are inherently not plain-text, and to view them as such, you need a program which converts them from their format into text. Git is a program with components designed to do precisely that. I would be extremely surprised if anyone has written another one.
