Hello, yes, we can remove 'svn:special' property on binary file, and commit will fine. And sorry i don't understand you phrase "did not remove the svn:special property at the same time"
Also I don't understand what had changed in svn export command since 1.10 version, that the old version return correct binary file but new version return the file that different from the original ? Can you explane me please?

Maybe Subversion should just error out when it sees that the contents of a "symlink" changed in a way that it clearly is no longer a valid link description? -- Brane [wargaming.net] EgzO3mXGcK This e-mail may contain CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY INFORMATION and/or PRIVILEGED AND CONFIDENTIAL COMMUNICATION intended solely for the recipient and, therefore, may not be retransmitted to any party outside of the recipient's organization without the prior written consent of the sender.
