Re: [PATCH] treat any file with NUL as binary

Then it seems to me, Linus sounded more in favor of that change than
against it. His main argument was against 'diff' heuristic, which he
felt was not strict enough for CRLF translation: "It's *much* better
to miss some CRLF translation than to do too much of it."

Yeah, you found the right one, and I agreed with the argument
back then, and I agree with it now.  I think NUL heuristics is a
good one and obviously it makes it tighter than what diff uses,
which should be what we are aiming for in this thread.
