In general, we will treat the contents of the files as binary, but will
still try to do a delta of their contents. Often this still works for
binary files.

We also have a per-file merge hook. Such that you can write a plugin,
and look for files of this time, and try to use the custom merge tools.

We don't, yet, have a custom diff hook, but I imagine we would be happy
to have one.
