[fpc-devel] GIT and binary files.

[Graeme Geldenhuys]

As far as git is concerned, it should auto detect it as a binary.

Binaries might be blocked though via the. gitignore file, in which case you'll have to use the --force argument.

A git config file can also define how file extensions should be treated. I'm not near a computer to see what FPC Source repo has configured.
