That's one of those 'if it hurts, don't do it...' things. While you always need to know if something is text or not to handle local text conventions in a usable way, it would seem awkward for svn to assume that revision contents are binary unless told otherwise, but have the opposite convention for svn:* properties. Better to just never allow non-text there. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com
