We used to not generate a patch ID for binary diffs, but that means that some commits may be skipped as being identical to already-applied diffs when doing a rebase. So just delete the code that skips the binary diff. At the very least, we'd want the filenames to be part of the patch ID, but we might also want to generate some hash for the binary diff itself too. This fixes an issue noticed by Torgil Svensson.

Your call. On Sat, 18 Aug 2007, Torgil Svensson wrote: > > This patch made the difference and solved the issue for me.
