feedback: what do you think of the TreeDiff file format?

[monperrus]

Hi,

We're working a common file format for the output of tree differencing tools. The idea is that many tree differencing tools would have an option to output this format. This would:

• ease building tools on top of tree differencing
• ease scientific experiments to compare the effectiveness of each tool on specific use cases.

Here is a first draft of the TreeDiff file format: https://docs.google.com/document/d/15ITrZ4c0qdb4rGLfaMt8K9VPG1CkNp5QSgfOY6jzpEk/edit?usp=sharing (comments can be left in the Gdoc))

What do you think?
