Error with binary files

[dfishburn]

If I try to add a .zip file using S in the Magit window I get the following:

Error detected while processing function magit#stage_hunk[32]..magit#stage_block[11]..magit#git#git_apply:
line    8:

Hi dfishburn,

could you give me the output of the command:

:!file --mime sqlanywhere/test/testdata_064A.zip

Thanks

The file utility does not exist on Windows.
I couldn't find any good alternatives for it either.

But, this is just a standard Zip file I created with the 7-zip open source utility.

Well, that's a shame I do not check the result of system("file...") command...

I'll try to figure a way to detect binary files on windows. No matter that is just a simple zip file, if vimagit does not detect that a modified file is a binary, it will fail to stage this modified file.

May also fix #61

Hi @dfishburn , could you please try the branch dev/git_diff and tell me if it fixes this issue?
