Hi Christian,

While that looks good to go, there will be side effects, IIUC.
With binary set for the duration of the edit session, the stuff at
":h binary" will be clobbered. AIUI, that's why the scripting at the URL
provided upthread sets it only temporarily. Having not tried that
script, I can't vouch for its perfection, but user satisfaction is
expressed on the web page.

Being able to deal with broken file formats seems marginally acceptable,
but only if there is prevention of proliferation of such formats in
public VCSs. Since the use of broken editors cannot be prevented there,
the only way to protect the VCS seems to be a file format filter on
check-ins. CVS supports that, but does GIT, I wonder? Fortunately we
have the maintainers as a last resort.
