[PATCH] svn-git: Use binmode for reading/writing binary rev maps

From
MWMichael Weber <michaelw@foldr.org>

<20080418131204.GA53634@roadkill.foldr.org>

Otherwise, there is a possible interaction with UTF-8 locales in combination with PERL_UNICODE, resulting in "inconsistent size: 40" or "read:"-type errors.

See also: perldoc -f binmode <http://perldoc.perl.org/perl581delta.html#UTF-8-no-longer-default-under-UTF-8-locales>
