Ryan,
Thank you for this advice. My Subversion situation changed when I
moved to Eclipse with the Mathematica plugin; I am now able to keep
many more source files as plaintext, so I haven't tried out your
suggestion yet. I will likely try it in the future, but I need to
thank you now because I am unsubscribing from the mailing list.
Thank you.
