How can I make Sourcetree recognize .org files as text?

Question

When I want to check diff of .org files in Sourcetree, nothing is shown. When I mark the file .md, or so, Sourcetree has no problems. In the terminal, the diff with .org file works well. So showing no diff seems to be a problem of the extension for Sourcetree.

Thanks!

Don't send them to me, I'm just a SourceTree user. Might be useful to post it to that bug though: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/SRCTREEWIN-5307

Thanks for taking care of this problem.

* The file is UTF8 with Unix LF, and it is still small.
* Then I created a new repo with a .txt file and its duplicate (duplicated in the finder, renamed .org) – both worked in that repo.
* So I tried new changes in the .org file, but it stays unreadable. After committing the unreadable changes and adding something new, it still does not show the diff.
* So I copied the whole text into a new file and naming this differently but with .org extension, this was recognized. Committing, adding changes etc. works nicely.

I remember that the problem file could be read when I added it to the repo, so something must have gone wrong during the first commit (repo is young).

The contents of the small repo (just this .org file) is not top secret. I will now start a new repo and delete this one, and if this helps, I can send you an archive of the screwed repo to check what went wrong.
