As just one of many examples, https://www.fossil-scm.org/fossil/artifact/0fa38d60655faf3d in Fossil's self-hosting repository is a binary file. There are many others. I have entire projects consisting of *only* binary files - for example my collection of OpenOffice presentations. The only restriction with binary files is that if you make independent changes in separate branches, those changes cannot be merged. > > fossil will warn you that these files look binary.
