You're right. In the meantime, I learned this keeps the original eol
markers, so it's fine for me.

Well, but why does it remove the svn:eol-style property from application/*
files then?

That's the problem, I don't want SVN to differentiate between MIME types for
the purpose of guessing whether a file contains binary or text data. This
doesn't make sense since
1.) MIME types don't seem to be very well defined and are created every day.
2.) there doesn't exist a MIME type for every file type you can think of.
