We have a script that generates .pyc files from .py files. We ran it on the root of the repository, which also compiled the .py files in _darcs/current! The script compiled those files before it compiled the working directory, so the .pyc files in the working copy had newer timestamps. When the files were examined, darcs saw that they are binary and so created the binary patches.In short, the moral of the story is that one must always be careful about running programs that may affect the _darcs directory, especially the pristine copy.
Yes, I ran into the problem a couple of days ago, when using Dreamweaver (not my choice!) to update web pages based on a template. The only way I got around it was moving _darcs out of the root directory, updating, and then moving it back, and doing a 'darcs repair' to fix the pristine tree when it got mangled. Next time I'll stick the site one level down...
