How to diff Max for Live projects
// M4L .als files are just gzipped XMLs, so you can either have in git the uncompressed versions
// (just gunzip everything after saving and before add and commit, and in .gitignore add *.als),
// or
// you can have a .gitattributes file in the root of your git project with the following line in it:
*.als diff=gzip
// Now you can view diffs as textual diffs of XML files, and you can view log output similarly.
