                    I don't want to even think of how github package

                    At least they could use <a

                  <div>They use .properties files to convey that
                    information.  Actually I think the entire point of
                    these 'exploded' package formats was to make raw
                    method-level diffs pretty... at the cost of making
                    the overall package format quite ugly/cumbersome. 
                     Every time I've had to look at a repo using those
                    formats, I'm happy you went the direction you did
                    with package files.  You prioritized the people
                    using the package files, they continue to prioritize
                    the tools that manipulate them.</div>
