Oh. So your problem is not with subversion but with your post-commit
email script. Which script are you using in your post-commit hook to
generate the email?
Perhaps the problem is that your PDFs are in the repository with an
svn:mime-type that begins with "text/". If so, you may wish to change
your PDFs in the repository so that their svn:mime-type is
"application/pdf". Diff programs and/or email scripts may assume that
things that begin with "text/" should have diffs shown but things
which have other mime types should not.
