I wasn't sure if it was mercurial issue or a tortoisehg issue. I can ask it there if you would prefer. I am using 1.0.2 and do not have git diffs turned on. From what I understand about the git diffs (as limited as it is) it didn't seem to matter when it came to creating a new binary file but rather detecting changes in binary files.

This is mostly a Mercurial question, but we'll help as we can. What version of TortoiseHg are you using? And do you have git diffs enabled? -- Steve Borho ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Tortoisehg-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/tortoisehg-discuss
