Merging and mime-types
I'd like to propose an extension to merging. I'd like to be able to
register a merge-program for a particular mime-type, which knows how to
take two versions and produce a merged output. In this way, we can start
merging things like OpenOffice documents, which are mostly text, but
which are packaged up in .jar files.

The format of jar and zip files are identical, the only difference is
between the extension.

I thought they were packed in zip files; did they change the format?
Anyhow, I second this as a useful feature, we have a lot of binary
database files in our repository, which could be merged quite easily by
a custom application; this has to be done manually atm, which is rather
inconvenient.
