Now git-apply can grok binary replacement patches, give --binary
flag to git-am. As a safety measure, this is not by default
enabled, so that you do not let malicious e-mailed patch to
replace an arbitrary path with just a couple of lines (diff
index lines, the filename and string "Binary files "...) by
accident.
