Yes, I will do this as soon as possible. At the moment, there are lots of oth=
er changes in the repository and I didn=E2=80=99t yet know for certain that t=
hey won=E2=80=99t break anything.

But in general, I would like to say, that you should not use the text dump. I=
t is only there for audit purposes and committed to the Git repository so tha=
t everyone can see any changes to the database easily.

I would strongly recommend using the binary database and the Python/Perl bind=
ings. What is your application for the data?

Best,
-Michael
