Cool, yup, right, merging binary files isn't going to happen.
I guess I was just kind of wondering if there was something about a
binary file that would, I don't know, break a branch or something, such
that someone couldn't check out the branch, or the files would get mixed
up with files in other branches, or something like that. Sounds like
that shouldn't be a problem....
Thanks,
