There's no explanation of why the change was made. I am pretty sure that we discussed the question of binary files in the tree on either core@ or hackers@ (not much difference back then), but that probably predates the "Dont mount the projects mail archives on /tmp/something" incident. The first versions of CTM used diff -e and ed(1) to transmit changes, and that choked up on binary files. We didn't have patch in the tree back then. I can't answer definitively if modern CTM has any such restrictions, but I would not expect so, either way, it should not matter. >> We should also note that if they are already in uuencode state >> to leave them in uuencode state, or do we intened to convert >> them on next commit, or ??? > >Good point, converting existing .uu files to binary is just >unnecessary churn and is not recommended.
