It's a good style to write short and to the point paragraphs. But still, the diffs are usually a bit larger than with hard line breaks. But on docs I write with hard breaks after 79 chars, my diffs are also bigger than they must be, cause I cannot refrain from pressing M-q when editing something in the middle of a paragraph. ;-) Anyway, when writing text I've never felt the need to use version control for anything except collaborative but sequential editing and backup. I can't even imagine forking some document, writing an "experimental" paragraph and merging that back to trunk some time later. ;-) Bye, Tassilo
