[Framers] ExtendScript for save as text, for Git usage ?

Hi Jo,

I'm also using Git, and the option of having a plaintext version for Git 
compares sounds appealing. Can you elaborate on the process you're using, 
anything to look out for, and post the script?

I can see great potential for this, but wonder whether extraneous info will 
clutter up a Git compare (I'm using the SourceTree GUI client on Windows, 
which has a good compare normally; and I also can use GitLab's compare on 
the server-side to see diffs), or whether relevant diffs might get lost due 
to formatting diffs or something?

Thanks much,
-Monique
