From 28624193b2ce622144136d373e136455b6b13967 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dmitry Potapov Date: Wed, 16 Jan 2008 04:59:12 +0300 Subject: treat any file with NUL as binary There are two heuristics in Git to detect whether a file is binary or text. One in xdiff-interface.c (which is taken from GNU diff) relies on existence of the NUL byte at the beginning. However, convert.c used a different heuristic, which relied on the percent of non-printable symbols (less than 1% for text files). Due to differences in detection whether a file is binary or not, it was possible that a file that diff treats as binary could be treated as text by CRLF conversion. This is very confusing for a user who sees that 'git diff' shows the file as binary expects it to be added as binary. This patch makes is_binary to consider any file that contains at least one NUL character as binary, to ensure that the heuristics used for CRLF conversion is tighter than what is used by diff.
