问题
I'm doing an svn diff on one of my files and svn is detecting it as a binary type. The file is readable plain text and I would like to be able to get a diff of this file. How do I tell SVN that this is not a binary file?
Cannot display: file marked as a binary type.
svn:mime-type = application/octet-stream
回答1:
You can use the Subversion property svn:mime-type to set an explicit mimetype on the file:
svn propset svn:mime-type 'text/plain' path/to/file
Alternatively, you can delete this property (since Subversion assumes plaintext, otherwise) using:
svn propdel svn:mime-type path/to/file

You can get diff even for a file marked as binary by using --force.
svn diff --force path/to/file
