Hello,
I was trying to create a patch against the file
'examples/dataList.jsp'. My patch file contained the
following message:
Cannot display: file marked as a binary type.
svn:mime-type = application/octet-stream
I browsed the SVN repository and noticed that this
file (along with many others) was indeed tagged as a
binary file.
I'm new to SVN, am I doing something wrong?
It looks to me like you're correct.
For example, here's a couple of files from commons-digester:
BASE=http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/jakarta/commons/proper
# a file expected to be text
svn proplist $BASE/digester/trunk/build.xml
--> svn:keywords
--> svn:eol-style
# a file expected to be binary
svn proplist $BASE/digester/trunk/xdocs/images/logo.jpg
--> svn:executable [hmm .. this is probably not right ;-]
--> svn:mime-type
svn propget svn:mime-type $BASE/digester/trunk/xdocs/images/logo.jgp
--> application/octet-stream
I'm not entirely sure which "examples.dataList.jsp" file you're
referring to (a full url would be nice) but file
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/myfaces/examples/trunk/simple/dataList.jsp
certainly is binary ("svn propget svn:mime-type" reports
application/octet-stream).
I also see that proplist on file
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/myfaces/api/trunk/src/java/javax/faces/FacesException.java
reports that it is marked executable (though at least not binary). I
think the myfaces SVN properties are in need of a cleanup...

Simon
