Hi,
Yes you are right, SVN 1.6.16 doest it as well, so it's not a 1.7 new issue.
There is just different behaviour for such file in the TortioseSVN Comit
Dialog, so I didn't realized it before
- 1.6 does not display any property status - you have to take a look on
the properties and there is the octet-stream
- 1.7 displays modified property status
