Isn't a file which contains binary data (i.e. NULL bytes) a "binary"
file? For example, isn't our dump format a "binary" format, since it
can contain literal fulltext of binary files or svndiff data, despite
the fact that it's mostly human-readable? And by that same definition,
isn't the fsfs revision file a "binary" format file?
