Subject: Better handling of binary files (bug #8495)
X-Git-Tag: v0.14~1
X-Git-Url: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/ucgi/~mdw/git/stgit/commitdiff_plain/ed9256cea646a5384fb258eb9a3610b112a78a90

Better handling of binary files (bug #8495)

The patch adds the '--binary' option to the git-diff-tree and git-diff-index
commands. The git-apply no longer needs this flag as it is set by default.
