This just passes the --binary option to git-diff-*, which causes the generated diffs to contain an applyable diff even when binary files differ. It's necessary to do this if you want to mail patches to binary files.
I applied this patch but is there anything wrong if we have this option on by default, at least for some commands? Maybe we don't need it for 'show' and 'diff' but we definitely need it for 'mail' and 'export'. There is also git.apply_diff() which calls git.diff(). This is first tried when pushing a patch and followed by a three-way merged if it fails. I think we should always have the --binary option in this case. -- Catalin - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
