I have some code which, like java, is stored in a binary format, and I have the applications to display and modify this code setup in the Subversion's config file.
But when I run svn diff for these file, Subversion prevents me
===================================================================
Cannot display: file marked as a binary type.
svn:mime-type = application/octet-stream
I can still view them, but only with the --force argument
Since all the files in the repository are of this binary code, how can I permanently force subversion to open the files for diff or edit mode?
- Can I configure Subversion to use an application for displaying when it finds a file with
application/octet-streamtype - Or should I manually change all the files in the repository to a
text/*mime-type?
