Use text/xml for XML files that you want treated as text, where
setting svn:eol-style makes sense and SVN will attempt to merge
contents. Use application/xml for xml files you want treated as
binary.
We generally use text/xml for "human-readable" XML (e.g. Maven pom.xml
files, docbook files or XSLTs). Machine generated XML (e.g. a Rational
Modeler file) can not generally be merged sensibly, so we use
mime-type application/xml for those.
