Cool, I didn't see that object api in v2 -- I think I must have skipped the v2 release altogether. I just remember the green v1 site :)
So what is the binary data that is base64 encoded? How does it get 'converted' to the raw output? I'll definitely be using the mime type, but I'm curious about how it's generated on the server.

You can recover the original data by base64 decoding the content. It is strange though because the github API adds "\n"s to the content string that you have to remove before decoding.
