Hello,
I know it is maybe a little out of scope , but it could be useful to be able to 
add in local history the changes made onto files like .doc, .xls, ... too.
regards
Xavier

Local history storage is provided by Core, moving report.

As long as the changes are made with Eclipse editors, the appropriate Core API 
calls are made and then the changes are stored in the local history.

If the changes are made via external editors (like Word and Excel) then the 
changes are discovered at the next refresh, at which time it is too late to put 
the old file contents into the local history.

it could be nevertheless interesting for this kind of document not to store 
inside changes but at least the whole document to be able to reload an old 
one...
