The -b/--binary option was initially implemented in 087b674 (git-am:
--binary; document --resume and --binary., 2005-11-16). The option will
pass the --binary flag to git-apply to allow it to apply binary patches.
However, in 2b6eef9 (Make apply --binary a no-op., 2006-09-06), --binary
was been made a no-op in git-apply. Following that, since cb3a160
(git-am: ignore --binary option, 2008-08-09), the --binary option in
git-am is ignored as well.
In 6c15a1c (am: officially deprecate -b/--binary option, 2012-03-13),
the --binary option was tweaked to its present behavior: when set, the
message:
The -b/--binary option has been a no-op for long time, and it
will be removed. Please do not use it anymore.
will be printed.
Re-implement this in builtin/am.c.
