Someone could probably build a tool which sits in between you and Git, which unzips the file before committing and after pulling, so Git sees the raw xml file, but you always see the zipped docx.

edit: never mind. Just read @petersr@lemmy.world's comment explaining why this is a bad idea.

Yeah, I made such a tool - and kept polishing edge cases until I gave up. So just wanted to warn everyone.

I'm sure you could, but yes, it's likely not worth the trouble.

a pre hook filter that beautifies and sanitizes the xml should fix that
