It would definitely be useful to call the server-side hook with a
parameter telling it what client (TSVN / Subclipse / SVN) is
requesting the template. That way, the server could satisfy the
client with exactly the right template.
But I fail to see a use case where a mime-type would be useful. I
imagine a project space where both Windows and Linux development is
taking place, thus there are different types of clients used to access
the repository. What do you want these clients to actually do if
they're given a wrong template (eg. with a mime-type they don't
recognize)? Die with an error? Present a blank/no template? It
doesn't seem that useful to me. Am I missing a use case?
