If not, it should be. The same should be allowed for svn:keywords, or any
other property. When the global-repository-config stuff gets done, maybe
there could be a config file to configure properties based on filename
patterns:

*.java svn:keywords="Author Rev URL" svn:eol-style=native
*.sh svn:executable
*.png svn:mime-type=image/png
*.jpg svn:mime-type=image/jpeg
/foo/bar-*.xml svn:mime-type="text/xml;encoding=BIG5"

Syntax:
pattern property[=value] property[=value]...

Any of [pattern], [property], and [value] should be able to be surrounded by
quotes (single or double), and standard C escape sequences should apply (for
properties which would require "\n"). The "=" and value should be optional,
in case a property like svn:executable does not require a value.

This should definitely allow any property to be set. In addition to keywords
and eol-style, a repository-wide list of mime-type types would be a *very*
useful feature. Hopefully Subversion could even include a list of sane
defaults, installed optionally of course.

Is something like this already in consideration?
