I'm not annoyed. Sorry, didn't mean to to sound mean.
Yes, the discussion was about our xml files for the docs. But since
those files are in our repo and at least three people working on them
there's a chance that conflicts occur. And that's where TortoiseMerge
comes into play, which will show garbage chars if the BOMs are missing.

No need to shut up ;)

The mime-type could be used, yes. But most people don't set the
mime-type property for files, since it's only used when you browse the
repository with your webbrowser. And TortoiseMerge is currently only
linked to the libsvn_diff library, not the whole subversion library. And
that would be needed to read the mime-type property --> another 300kb
(at least) just for that? Well, I'll think about that...
