Upgrade StorageSaved File Format
I understand why storing the information inside a sqlite database is very useful, however...
I backup my information and library using SVN, which stores changes in text formatted files, like Code, or bibtex files (I moved over from bibtex and the tools I was using because of Zotero's features). Because the sqlite file is binary it does not store changes but the entire file each time. Also if I edit the files on multiple computers and there is a syncing problem in binary I would have to just sacrifice the changes.
If I had the ability to select a storage mechanism other than a sqlite database, like many XML files, this would be preferable.
Thank you

sqlite3 zotero.sqlite .dump > zotero.sqland then store the zotero.sql text file in your revisioning system.Zotero leverages mozstorage, which has but one backend.
