AnkhSVN currently has its own code to remove the binary marking from these specific files.

Some 3th party Visual Studio features like to add empty files and then later fill them with the real data.

This leaves the case where you have just a few characters in a file where you have a BOM at the start, but for our users that case is far less common than this empty file case.
