Thanks for the fix. Since #3265 (merged 2026-09-11), rtk git show <rev>:<path> detects blob objects with a cat-file probe and writes their bytes through unchanged, so a binary blob now comes out byte-identical to plain git show; the code this PR edits was replaced by that path. If you still see a difference on a recent build, please comment and this can be reopened.
