This isn't in a FAQ that I know of. Mercurial decides a file is binary if it finds any NULs (0 bytes) in the file. This has a tendency to label PDFs and UTF-16 files as binary. There is no workaround for this that I know of, save switching to UTF-8. -- Steve Borho ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Crystal Reports - New Free Runtime and 30 Day Trial Check out the new simplified licensing option that enables unlimited royalty-free distribution of the report engine for externally facing server and web deployment. http://p.sf.net/sfu/businessobjects _______________________________________________ Tortoisehg-discuss mailing list Tortoisehg-discuss@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/tortoisehg-discuss
