I just tried to do this and SVN wouldn't let me - the combination listed on that webpage for SVG files svn:eol-style=native; svn:mime-type=image/svg+xml isn't valid and SVN won't allow you to apply it to a file. So you can either have the correct mime-type, or the correct eol-style, but not both.

John.

eol-style can only be applied to text mime-type files. image/svg+xml is binary. You need to change the mime-type also.

This one of the cases where svn:mime-type breaks horrible. You need "image/svg+xml" for Browser visualisation and "text/x-xml" (any "text/*") for correct storage of the text based data. I was never happy with those mime- types anyway, but they were/are needed when doing cross-platform development. Some even might say that subversion was overdesigned. Well, git has some other eol-magic, lets see if it handles things better. Bottom line: get the webserver to deliver the mime type depending on the file extension and change the repository mime-type to "text/x-xml". Yours, Jürgen -- * Dipl.-Math.
