Text to Binary

[Eric Lemes <er...@gmail.com>]

I have a text file in repository (Embarcadero ER/Studio Model File).

I wanna change this file to binary. Anyone knows how to do it?


This file is stored in a weird format. This is a text file with not a
human-readable content... :-S

I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to accomplish. Subversion  
sees all files as binary internally. If you're saying that you see  
the file's contents when using a command like "svn diff", and you'd  
rather see the message that it's a binary file, then all you need to  
do is change its MIME type to something that doesn't start with  
"text/". It's in the book:

svn.advanced.props.html#svn.advanced.props.special.mime-type

(Please pardon my email client if it breaks the above URL.)
