Ah. Goodness.

Sorry for the interruption, we now return to your regularly scheduled

The CVS binary flag has nothing to do with this.  The log reporter
thinks a file is binary if Perl's binary-file test succeeds OR
if the file has a well-known binary extension.  Perl thinks a
zero-length file is binary, hence the message.

Ah. Got it.

However, I think the binary flag is sticky in CVS. When you check
something in, I'd suggest checking to ensure that the repository records
it as a text file.

It's an empty file right now (which I guess should really have an
introductory comment in it or something). I guess the routine that
checks for binary data looks for the absence of ASCII instead of the
presence of non-ASCII. *shrug*
