Yeah, I guess it would work fine if we set the svn:mime-type property on our
CHANGES file, though (to "text/plain"). *shrug*. Extension-less files are
always problematic for MIME type stuff. While most of the extension-less
files in our tree may be human-readable, it's certainly conceivable that
others would have extension-less files in their trees that aren't
human-readable. It's a win-lose situation!
