Hello,

I am examining features of SVN and reading some notes about it.

I have read "Christophe Dupré" 's power point which is called "Source Code
Revision Control with Subversion".

In this this presentation it is stated that binary detection algorithm
sometime fails. Something must be set manually.

Why is not that property set default? Or did I missunderstand sth about
this?

* SVN has a binary detection algorithm, but it sometimes fails (PDF
have a text header)

- Need to set svn:mime-type property manually to
application/octet-stream

Thanks alot for any comment.

Best wishes,

Cagatay
