Hi,

There's no option at the moment to change this. The file looks like text, it is printable, so bzr diffs it that way.

I can think of a couple of things we could do to improve this; maybe you can suggest more

1- a configurable list of file patterns (maybe as rules) to be treated as text or treated as binary, regardless of the contents of the files

2- a better heuristic that determines that this file is not really human-readable
