Hi,
"git format-patch" generates binary diffs for binary files (e.g pdfs)
in its patches,
but "git diff -p" just tells me that a binary file is different and doesn't
generate the actual diff.
Is there some switch I'm missing to tell "git diff" to generate a
binary diff on binary files?
Cheers,
Geoff Russell

--binary::
In addition to --full-index, output "binary diff" that
can be applied with "git apply".
Should work with all of the "diff things" like `git diff`,
`git log`, etc. See the diff-options.txt in Documentation.
