Fine, here is my patch again, with a log message.
Can someone run this through the windows test suite, please? Thanks.
I don't expect any test failures from this to arise on *nix.
Manual testing on BSD with files that contain just the UTF-8 BOM
suggests that the patch works fine.
[[[
Special-case empty UTF-8 files which have a UTF-8 BOM. Prevents such
files from being considered binary by default.
* subversion/libsvn_subr/io.c
(svn_io_detect_mimetype2): If the block read from disk contains only
a UTF-8 BOM, don't return a binary mimetype but indicate to the caller
that it should be treated as text.
