Hi, I would like to bring up an old issue here: http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=2089 I've just bumped into this, and first it was really confusing why would svn blame work with one xml file, but not with the other, as the Skipping binary file: 'reference/apc/book.xml' wasn't really helpful. I understand that the discussion back in 2004 didn't reached an agreement about how to resolve the issue, but could we at least change the error message to something like: Skipping binary file: 'reference/apc/book.xml' as binary mime-type was found in revision X, use --force to proceed.
This would at least lessen the confusion on the users part. ps: please cc me to the replies as I'm not subscribed to the list. -- Ferenc Kovács @Tyr43l - http://tyrael.hu
