I call it ultra-ugly because catting binary files seems dangerous to me,
as some environments/platforms have EOF markers, etc. I'm sure it will
work in my environment. At the very least it is counterintuitive to use
cat for binary files AND for export to not work on a single file.

It looks like issue 1708 (and 823), covers it (I used a better regexp to
find it than I tried before), but it is a year old, with nobody working on
it. I don't appear to have rights to either add comments or vote for it,
but I could be doing something wrong (I just set up my account now, and
just asked to be an Observer on the subversion project).
