Check your diff and see how the file is represented. We only display that error if
we're told in the diff that it's a binary file.

I have downloaded diff file and when I opened it, its content was the next:

Index: VSO-WebViewEngine/context/WEB-INF/system/resources/js/vmo/widget/TabContainer.js

Fortunately there's no code there, but be careful not to put any proprietary content
at all on this issue tracker. It's public and anyone can see it.

Rather than looking at the downloaded file, can you actually generate a diff using
either p5 diff or 'post-review --output-diff' (depending on which you used for Review
Board) and e-mail me (christian@...) ?
