Encodings are a separate issue from MIME types. There should be a
svn:encoding property that lets the user mark a file as being utf-8 or
iso8859-1 or koi8-r or whatever.

It probably wouldn't be a bad idea if utf-8 was implicitly assumed in
the absence of an svn:encoding tag. I certainly hope that subversion
isn't assuming that all text files are encoded according to the current
locale.
