Bug Description
Hi,
If you index a branch with binary files then search will print hits from changes
affecting the binary files. This leads to lots of binary garbage being output, which
doesn't help the readability of the results.
If searching binary files is desired then I suggest there be a --binary option,
of by default.
Thanks,
James

Using a --binary flag really would just be fixing a symptom. Instead,
content analysis should allow sensible hits from images etc.
