Plain text is the correct format for versioning systems, help to merge
and solve conflicts.

We are talking about a document, some paragraphs will be large.

For Libreoffice, break lines has no effect, because LO just break line
if found a XML ending sentence.


I believe that will be a great feature offer embed into LO a way to Save
As "Git Server".  This will allow users to work collaborative way.

Today, how you work with 2+ people in the same document?!  Everyone Send
By Email to Everyone, what he created and one guy join all jobs?  What
about revisions?  This proceeding is a very complicate and error prone.

Plain Text with short columns is the correct way to work in a
Git/Subversion/Mercurial, etc... repository.
