Introduction 
Advanced Topics File Types
BitKeeper can be used to track history on source code, documentation files, web pages, etc.
The BitKeeper file types are
- text (ordinary files such as source code)
- binary (images, word docs, etc.)
- symbolic links (Unix only)
It is not possible to switch the type of a file from binary to text or vice versa at this time.
Some of the tools, such as bk difftool, aren't appropriate
for binary files.
A common recommended practice is to not include any kind of generated output files under any kind of revision control. If you have the input files and the process itself stored in a source management system such as BitKeeper, then you have what you need to reproduce the generated output.
