Can Git differentially store GZip files? -


does git store text compressed gzip binary files or can tell it's text , store changes between updates files?

git not attempt binary files. in fact, doesn't attempt text files. doesn't store updates @ all. store full contents of every single file, delta-compression across entire object store. data that's stored on-disk in fact updates (hence "delta-compression"), git sees full files.

that said, no, git not attempt decompress gzipped-compressed files in order re-compress itself. means text that's compressed gzip have same performance other compressed format (e.g. images), say, there won't savings.
