Re: dealing with binary files

Bill,

Subversion uses a heuristic binary-detection library, but it is not perfect. The most important thing, might be to make sure that the svn:mime-type is set to "application/octet-stream" for all your binary files to ensure SVN uses the correct behaviors when you interact with those files. You may want to set up autoprops on certain file extensions, or maybe even all files, if that makes sense in your scenario.

Thank you,

Hello,

My team has been using tortoise-svn and subversion to rev control some
projects where file format is binary. We're using a required lock
property and svn-hooks to manage and control and we have a change branch
where we we have been working.

I was hoping I might ask if there is anyone in the group that uses svn
like this, and ask for some experienced guidance for merging (maybe it's
not a merge with binaries?) back to the trunk (we call it STABLE). Is
there something in particular that we need to pay attention to or steps
that we should consider when merging binary files from a change branch
back to the trunk?

Thanks,

Bill
