They either have to have a distinct end-of-line marker (like win/gnuplot.iss) or they really contain binary data (applies e.g. to some files in the demo directory).  That typically isn't a problem in *nix systems, but on Windows because some CVS programs try to be clever in adjusting the EOL marker.  Can that be taken care of?  If yes, I can come up with a list. Please excuse my ignorance if this isn't an issue with git at all.
