Binary file detector got it wrong on REC_CSS1-19990111.pdf
Hi !
I just installed 0.27.0 on a machine of mine and tried adding a few files
to my WC. Here are the results:
C:\java\references>svn add CSS
A CSS
A (bin) CSS\css2.pdf
A CSS\REC-CSS1-19990111.pdf
Notice that the REC-CSS1-19990111.pdf file did not get the (bin)
monicker. I can correct that myself quite easily, but this is just a
heads-up.
Bye !

Thanks for the tip. I switched the svn:mime-type anyway afterwards so
that repository browsing would send the proper Content-Type to the
browser.
Thanks,
François

But changing the EOL of PDFs will invalidate the offsets in XREF table. So you
should tread PDFs as binaries, even if they do not contain any non ASCII
characters.

I thought so too, but I looked it up, and what it does is to it suggests
that non-text characters are used early in the file for PDFs that
*contain binary data*. There can still be non-binary PDFs.

AFATG, the PDF 1.4 file specification strongly suggests that non-text
characters be used early in the file in order to prevent them from being
identified as text.

Just FYI, not all PDF files are necessarily binary. If you want them to be
stored as a binary, that's your business. I have code which will create a PDF
on the fly from a database application, and both the template and the database
fields are text-only.
If memory serves, there is a patch/suggestion in the works to set site-wide
defaults for specific file extensions as to whether a file is automatically
judged to be binary or text. Search the dev archives if you are interested...
