I'm not entirely sure why you would put a text file in subversion and not
specify eol-style:native, but I agree with you that it should be possible
to specify an editor.
In particular, if the file extension isn't associated with any program then
selecting 'Open' simply does nothing. Mostly though this is just an
annoyance of windows: the Open command in the explorer tries to run the
file, not to edit edit.

I wouldn't expect the diff viewer but I would like to be able to open the
file in an editor. I would like to have a menu option 'Edit' (separate from
Open) which would open the file using the editor specified in the registry
for that file type and falling back to using the editor configured in my
subversion config for unrecognised file types.
