Looks like the bad file originates from this PR: https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/4754
(In reply to Ulrich Müller from comment #1) > Looks like the bad file originates from this PR: > https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/4754 That's mine. The patch is a pretty straight forward text file. How is it that that is being interpreted as a binary file?

The file contained some garbage characters in the commit message (which are not visible in github's web interface). No idea if they were there in the original patch, or if it's some later corruption. It should be fixed now: https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=83b1bbf35b53f7becef8bba1f5c11ede1d57e0e1

It might have been a Unicode BOM which I accidentally enabled a while back.
