Version control unziped, non-binary workflows for better patches, diffs and history

If the work flows are unzipped and kept in VCS we can actually see what's changed, making diffs and patches safer. A simple Makefile to build them (i.e. zip them up) could be included to automatically reverse the process.

Do you know how to unzip them?

To extract:

$ ls
foobar.alfredworkflow
$ mkdir foobar
$ cd foobar
unzip ../foobar.alfredworkflow
$ ls

To build:

$ cd foobar
$ zip ../my_built_foobar.alfredworkflow *
$ cd ..
$ ls
my_built_foobar.alfredworkflow foobar/

I decided to not maintain source code in this repo, only binaries. Source code can be found on original author's link.
