You can also see changes directly from the experimental version, using URLs like this:

I don't normally use a web-based interface, though; I use 'git' directly. For example, on my development host the shell command 'git diff 2014e' outputs a text file containing all the changes since 2014e.

One benefit of Stephen's repository, though, is that it isolates changes to data, which are otherwise lumped in with commentary and code changes, of which there have been quite a lot — many overlapping — since 2014e. Running 'git diff 2014e' gives me over 14000 lines of output which are not so useful as they would seem.

In any case, I am glad to see this project moving forward with what is hopefully the beginning of a much-needed, well-researched cleanup, not the end.
