Git & OpenDocument

[Alex Volkov]

Hello everyone,

A follow up on a question raised yesterday -- diffs on open office 
documents. After a quick googling I found a solution:

* Install odt2txt package
* add following lines to ~/.gitconfig

[diff "odf"]
       textconv=odt2txt

* add following lines to .gitattributes or $GIT_DIR/info/attributes

*.ods diff=odf
*.odt diff=odf
*.odp diff=odf

And you're done.

Formatting looks a bit interesting and a line of text shows up in 'git 
diff' only if it is followed by an empty line, but generally it works.
