+Various maintainer notes:
+
+############
+# Diagrams #
+############
+
+the .dia files are source diagrams as generated by dia(1). It's a must
+to store these files in the binary format when using svn, as they
+contain xml and binary chunks . Automatically svn will store those as
+text which will break binary strings making those files unusable.
+
+So you either need to manually add the mime type property on each new
+.dia file you add or adjust your ~/.subversion/config, to have:
+
+[auto-props]
+*.dia = svn:mime-type=application/octet-stream 
+
+dia generates .png files via its export method. As older browsers
+won't recognize .png or crash, we want to use gifs instead. Here is
+how to convert png files to gif files:
+
+  perl -le 'for (@ARGV) { print STDERR "converting $_\n"; \ s/\.\w+$//;
+system "pngtopnm $_.png | pnmquant 256 | ppmtogif > $_.gif" } ' *.png
+
+
