This was done as part of this change:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/utils/b4/b4.git/commit/?id=23a9ddba10a057bfa9c438c0b50ac36d278ae022

I'm not sure why --full-index was added there -- I don't think it's needed for
--binary? Please feel free to send a fix for that.

I had to focus on infrastructure needs over the past few months, but I'm
starting on my b4 backlog soon.
