Git incorrectly marked a file as binary - what to do?

Question

git

There is a repository under svn, I have git on my machine, communicating with the repository through git svn. At some point, trouble happened: git mistakenly marked one of the files as binary. A quick google found the problem - the file encoding turned out to be UTF-16, now the file is UTF-8 and was uploaded via tortoise-svn to the trunk, but git still considers it binary.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get out of this situation?

Answer 1

The option helped: delete from the cache - commit - add -commit. After that, git ceases to perceive it as binary and, moreover, continues to consider it as text, if you do git reset HEAD~2 and kill both fake commits
