Which is very nice, it saved me several megabytes of disk space :-)

Still, I have "git diff" working fine for OpenOffice Writer documents here, using "oodiff" that I found somewhere I cannot remember...

Now, if only OpenOffice could be told not to store the documents as zip files, but rather as a directory, I wouldn't have to fool Git using the rezipper. Or perhaps one should implement support in Git to store zip files expanded (and just create the .zip on checkout)?

Then one could even merge conflicts between concurrent edits.
