I am comparing two directories (.../trunk/doc and
.../branches/khung/doc/....) in Repos Browser. I used "Show Differences as
Unified Diff". This is what it returns,

Index: abc/abc_test_description.doc
===================================================================
Cannot display: file marked as a binary type.
svn:mime-type = application/octet-stream
Index: abc/xxx_description.doc
===================================================================
Cannot display: file marked as a binary type.
svn:mime-type = application/octet-stream

Does this imply that the two files "abc/abc_test_description.doc" and
"abc/xxx_description.doc" are different between the two directories?

However, I use WinMerge to diff between those two directories in my local c
drive and there is no difference. I even copy (using File Explorer) to copy
"abc/abc_test_description.doc" from trunk to branches/khung and then perform
"Check for Modifications" on branches/khung/doc. Again TSVN says that there
is no difference.

So what is wrong with "Show Differences as Unified Diff" in Repos Browser?
Does it have problem with binary file (like Word document)?
