No, at least not if text/* means anything related to MIME.

UCS-2 (by the way, deprecated and superceded by UTF-16) is a 16-bit encoding, which means that its byte-serialized encoding scheme uses all byte values including 0. This is incompatible with MIME text/* types.

text/* must be byte-oriented, avoid control codes and 0, use CRLF line endings (you said earlier that you don't care about this restriction in svn), and are (must be? not sure) ASCII-based.

However, "svn:content-type = text/plain; charset=UTF-8" would work.
With UTF-8, you do support Unicode already, right? :-)
