DB Designer had a lot of bugs but one outstanding feature was that database models were saved in plain XML by default.
DB Designer有很多错误，但一个突出的特性是默认情况下数据库模型以纯XML格式保存。
This allowed a user to diff file versions via SVN or Beyond Compare, easily finding any changes made to the database.
这允许用户通过SVN或Beyond Compare来区分文件版本，轻松找到对数据库所做的任何更改。
Unfortunately, DB Designer's succsssor, MySQL Workbench, stores files in a proprietary MVW file format, which is unreadable.
不幸的是，DB Designer的succsssor，MySQL Workbench，以专有的MVW文件格式存储文件，这是不可读的。
Is it possible to force MySQL Workbench to save as XML?
是否可以强制MySQL Workbench保存为XML？

No, the current version (5.2.10 beta) does not support that.
不，当前版本（5.2.10 beta）不支持这一点。
However, the file format is not proprietary - its a simple zip archive. It contains a single XML document which is the complete database model. I wrote this SO question a couple of months ago with the same goal as you seem to have. I wanted to be able to do svn diff model.mwb
但是，文件格式不是专有的 - 它是一个简单的zip存档。它包含一个XML文档，它是完整的数据库模型。几个月前我写了这个问题，你的目标与你似乎有的一样。我希望能够做svn diff model.mwb
The answer I got there helped me write a small script which unzipped the file before passing it to the diff tool. It worked decently and if you're interested I can post it somewhere.
我到那里的答案帮助我编写了一个小脚本，在将文件传递给diff工具之前将其解压缩。它运作得体，如果你感兴趣我可以把它贴在某个地方。
I also very recently started a thread on the Workbench forum about this issue. Hopefully someone on the development team can provide some more input on this.
我最近也在Workbench论坛上开始讨论这个问题。希望开发团队中的某个人可以提供更多的信息。
EDIT: it is now being tracked by MySQL Bug #51203 with a target of 6.0.
