Quoting Hans-Christoph Steiner hans@eds.org:
Hey all,
A number of people set the CVS binary flag on .pd files to prevent merges. Since AFAIK, this isn't necessary with SVN and this prevents
as i understand it, it is still necessary with svn.
using svn diff, I was wondering if anyone would object if I removed
well, from the revision control system's point of view i think that a "merge" is closely related to a "diff" (the latter being the inverse of the former)
the binary mime-type from all .pd files in SVN.
Or is there some other reason to set .pd files to a mime-type of application/octal?
so the reason why i (inconsistently) tag pd-patches as "binary" is in order to prevent merging. if you have any other way to prevent merging of pd-patches please do so. i would also be interested in any way that prevents merging and allows diffs at the same time.
and finally: why do you need diffs of Pd patches? (well, i sometimes like them to see if only very minor changes - e.g. the patch window has a new position - occured)
