Ah, right.
This applies however to gzipped files or single-file zip files, and
not zipped files in general: a zip file compresses each file
individually, so unchanged single files inside of the zip will deltify
reasonably well, as opposed to unchanged single files in a .tar.gz
file.
But that's a minor point not relevant here, and of course you are
right. I just somehow did not register that "store the odf files" was
supposed to mean "get checked into git in numerous versions".
