svn diff for binary file(excel file)

Question

I have configured svn repository for an excel file,

So I checked out and create myworkingdirectory Then I changed the excel file and I wanted to see the changes by svn diff

which It says that file marked binary eventhough I have changed

Subversion client configuration file and

[miscellany]
enable-auto-props = yes

and also I have added this line

*.xlsx = svn:mime-type=application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet

When I use

svn proplist --verbose /path to /myworkingdirectory/file.xlsx

it lists the mime-type and its value

I dont know what else to do to see the changes by svn diff like its possible to see in text format files
