RE: --diff3-cmd for binary files

Thanks for following up.

I think this suggestion makes sense, and would help us out in some more
advanced use cases. With the tools we have now there's no read need to
make a difference in behaviour between text and binary anyway.

Lieven.

Yeah, and I think this is a flaw in Subversion. I think I'd like Subversion
to expand it's "allowed to merge" check from:

  (! is_binary)

to:

  (! is_binary) || (diff3_cmd_option_is_in_use)
