Summary: Patch manager attached file MIME type
Original Submission: First, I would like to thank you all for the work on the
Savannah code base. The new patch manager is _much better_ than the older.
I'd like to report (and complain :-) about two problems which are probably
related:
1. Old patches have been "htmlized", that is characters like '"', '<' and '>'
have been replaced by entity references """, "<" and ">" that is
really a big problem, since this data has basically been corrupted (though it
seems automatically recoverable).
2. Though old patches are still viewable from inside a browser, newly submitted
patches seem to be sent as "application/octet-stream" (according to the dialog
mozilla pops up when clicking an attached file link) instead of "text/plain"
(or some more specific appropriate MIME type).
The net result of this second problem, is that new patches can no longer be
viewed from inside a browser.
You can check these on the texmacs patch manager:
old patch:
https://savannah.gnu.org/patch/download.php?item_id=1967&item_file_id=1966
new patch:
https://savannah.gnu.org/patch/download.php?item_id=2368&item_file_id=2376
Thanks for your help.

1) I need to check whether it is a migration problem or it it is not just the
download output which wrongly make that conversion.
2) If I remember well, we previously encounter that problem but the conclusion
reached was that this problem is browser specific. Apparently some browser does
not, at file upload, provide the appropriate information regarding the file
mime type. In that case, the more neutral choice is to pick
"application/octet-stream" ; "text/plain" could create more problematic
situations with binaries (pictures etc).
