I used Notepad to edit the file, TortoiseSvn to commit, the same as I did

If the latter is OK, perhaps *.py gets filtered better than misc. text
files. I believe I have the config as specified in dev/faq.
Adding the BOM will be an editor thing, not a svn thing. Doing a
Google search for [ms notepad bom] shows that Notepad did the
"helpful", invisible edit.
So I presume it did the same with IOBinding.py. Does *.py get filtered
is a way that could be extended to no-extention files? Do *.txt files
get BOM filtered off? Should all text files in repository have some
extension (default .txt)?
More to the point, can better filtering be added to the new hg
repository? Or can a local Windows hg setup have such filtering on local
commits before pushing?
I know now that I could always edit with IDLE's editor, but it is a lot
easier to right click and select edit than it is to run thru the
directory tree in an open dialog. And of course, since the pseudo-BOM
addition is undocumented within notepad itself, and probably other
editors, it is easy to not know.
