So what should i do if i want it added as text file?

You should give us more detail on the file ;)
What's the extension, what's the typical content? It may be a simple
matter of specifying attributes.
Do ordinary diff and grep recognize your files as text?

It's just an xml file. I guess maybe there are some hidden characters
at the beginning. I will figure it out later because i have no access
to that file right now.

I have figured it out. It's just because the BOM characters feff00 in
the beginning of the utf-8 xml file.
