Yes, that would be great.
Should we only use the svn:mime-type property determining the type or are
there other methods?

I thought about it again. Mime type should be first priority IMO
Because it gives you finer control. One file ext could have multiple
mimetypes and one mime type could have multiple file extensions.

That would be better, so something like this could be used:
ext mimetype path
* application/msword vbscript
That one would have another advantage, you don't have to set .xml to Tmerge.
Because if no mime-type is set Tmerge is used automatically.
And if mimetype is empty the ext could be used.
Would this need to many time to read the property? I don't know such things.
I have to try it...

I'm two weeks away in croatia. Could you file an issue and assign it to me.
That would be great.
I had set up an complete build environment at home.
