Description
When viewing a changeset, Trac will attempt to perform a diff on any file where none of the first 1000 bytes are the null byte (0x00). This causes the server to hang when viewing a changeset on large (>~16MB) binary files that do not happen to have a null byte in the first 1000 bytes.
Created a patch (trac-mimetype-no-binary-diff.patch) to prevent Trac from attempting to perform a diff on files that have the svn:mime-type property set to something other than "text/*".

That won't work because some a number of common text formats don't use the text/* super-type. Examples: application/xml and image/svg.

See also wiki:TracIniMacro#changeset-section that enables the admin to limit the size of a diff'ed changeset.
