Gist dumps binaries all in your face
Reported by Bryce Kerley | August 6th, 2008 @ 02:52 PM | in 1. Next
If you check a binary (such as a png image) into a gist repo, gist will helpfully render it as mangled text: http://gist.github.com/4280
Some clever heuristic (file) could be used to decide whether to treat the file as text/code or as an image.
