To set the MIME type of a file, you would get a working copy, set the
file's svn:mime-type property, and commit the change.

To change the diff program, you use the --diff3-cmd argument to the
svn merge command on the client side, or you set the diff3-cmd line
in the Subversion config file (located at ~/.subversion/config on
Unix-like operating systems) also on the client side.
