I'm using fossil 1.23 on Windows 7. I'm attempting to store text files
generated by Microsoft SQL Server 2012 in fossil so I can easily track
their changes over time.

The problem is that fossil thinks these generated text files are binary
data which prevents me from viewing the files via the web ui and generating
diffs.

When I look at these files in a hex edtor, I see this: ff fe 53 00 45 00 54
00 20 00 41 00. A text editor shows "SET A".

I've looked in the email list archive where DRH specifies that a null
character or a line longer than 8192 chars. The entire file is 1074 bytes
so it's not the length. Is fossil reading the 00 bytes as nulls?

Any idea why fossil thinks these files are binary? And, more importantly,
what encoding I can specify to prevent this? I've tried various
permutations of ASCII, UTF8, UTF7 to no effect.

Thanks,

Kevin
