Product:Developer Tools Product Version:Quartz Composer 4.6 (151.1)
Classification:Enhancement Reproducible:Always
 
Summary:
Quartz Composer’s file format is some binary blob, which is not very version control friendly. It would very useful to have a (XML based?) file format, a la Interface Builder which is much easier to use with a version control system like git.

Steps to Reproduce:
1) check a .qtz file into a git repository
2) change one connection in the Quartz Composer
3) show the diff with git diff

Expected Results:
Diff in a text format

Actual Results:
No text diff

Regression:
