Can you give an example with sample data? Well, what I was trying to do in my test case was take a file in a repository with content "test string 1", and update its content to "test string 2" using mechanisms that would confirm there is a difference between those two strings before updating the file to the new string - basically the simplest possible situation. The "real" problem I'm trying to solve is this - I have binary data stored in lots of small files in a subversion repository (serialized geometry data). I have as incoming data the serialized binary data for one of the objects. I want to commit the new contents from the incoming object to the repository, if that incoming data is different from the version that is already in the repository. All of this is in-memory, no filesystem files are involved except what the FSFS backend is doing internally. Cheers, CY
