I get the message “File or diffs not displayed: File is binary.”
Why is mercurial (hg) treating my visual studio solutions (.sln) as binary?
And how do I stop it?
Thanks

I tried this out on one of my projects and the
slnfile was treated as a text file. Check if your sln file is in a different encoding like UTF-16. Otherwise, Hg should not be treating it as binary. Try explicitly converting / changing the encoding to UTF-8 / ASCII and see.
