I have a file that should be added as binary but currently is not.
Is there a way I can force hg add the file as binary?

The file is an image that is corrupted (on purpose) for a test case.

Update: The problem in particular is that I have a patch file, so when I apply the patch it does not apply the same.

    As per its documentation, Mercurial does nothing special for binary vs. text files. So you don’t need to do anything special either, other than refraining from running diffs on them.
