Hi Ryan,
Thanks for looking into this for me.
I found the suggestion by Karl Fogel of forcing works - but I really
want it to work with TortioseSVN as I am a WIMP (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WIMP_(computing) )
> You can also just pass the --force flag to blame:

Does it seem that there is either a bug with SVN ( 1.4.2 ) or something
else that needs to be set?
Thanks again,
Best regards,
Ian

That's odd. And I can reproduce it with Subversion 1.4.5 on Mac OS X
10.4.11 Intel. Apparently Subversion doesn't work the way I thought
it worked......
$ svnadmin create repo
$ svn co file://`pwd`/repo wc
Checked out revision 0.
$ cd wc
$ date > foo.sql
$ date >> foo.sql
$ svn add foo.sql
A foo.sql
$ svn propset svn:mime-type "application/octet-stream" foo.sql
property 'svn:mime-type' set on 'foo.sql'
$ svn ci -m ""
Adding (bin) foo.sql
Transmitting file data .
Committed revision 1.
$ svn blame foo.sql
Skipping binary file: 'foo.sql'
$
# So far so hoopy. I told it to be a binary file so Subversion
# refuses to "blame" it. Now I want to make it a text file.
$ svn propset svn:mime-type "text/plain" foo.sql
property 'svn:mime-type' set on 'foo.sql'
$ svn blame foo.sql
Skipping binary file: 'foo.sql'
$ svn proplist -v foo.sql
Properties on 'foo.sql':
svn:mime-type : text/plain
$
# Still doesn't work. Maybe I need to commit the property
# change first?
$ svn ci -m ""
Sending foo.sql
Committed revision 2.
$ svn blame foo.sql
Skipping binary file: 'foo.sql'
$
# Surprisingly (to me) it still doesn't allow "blame". By what
# criteria does Subversion still think this file is binary?
$ svn proplist -v foo.sql
Properties on 'foo.sql':
svn:mime-type : text/plain
$ file foo.sql
foo.sql: ASCII text
