Tracy,
My understanding is that bin2prg (or something like it) was created expressly to support what you want to do. The idea was that the dbf (.scx, etc.) would be used to create a comparable prg file and then both would be checked in. The prg was used for change tracking only. It worked great with VSS - not sure how well it will work with Git using the VFP project manager, but you should be able to create a script that will do effectively the same thing.

We are looking at changing things over from VSS to git. There are about 20 projects that we want to transfer the history of the files in to git. However, we do not want to transfer the binary files over. We haven't been using the FoxBin2PRG since we have been just working directly in the standard project manager in VFP.
Hi Tracy...Happy New Year!
Did you mean to say that you ARE or ARE NOT using FoxBin2PRG? I'd think you would have to use it to achieve the non-binary source code control process.
