There is no mechanism for it to exclude binaries and doing so would break
the _only_ reason Fossil supports the +x bit at all: configure scripts are
normally marked as executable (and that was the only reason Richard
originally agreed to add +x support).

One way to do it is to add everything:

fossil add .

and then:

fossil status

and look for the binaries. Then do:

fossil rm those...files

and they won't be included in the commit.
