Subject: Blobs render binary literally
When viewing blobs which are binary files e.g /root/static/logo.png, Gitalist renders the binary literally. Unless a plugin steps in[1] to handle the binary data (or any kind for that matter) a /raw link to the file should be generated with the notice that it's a binary file and Gitalist doesn't know how to render arbitrary data. Dan Brook [1] We don't have any such plugin mechanism at the moment, but when we do it'll be handy for situations like this.
