Line endings are not controlled by mime types, but instead by the
svn:eol-style property. Regardless of mime type, you can set the
svn:eol-style property to indicate that you would like Subversion to
force the line endings to LF, CR, CRLF, or whatever the native
encoding of the client is at checkout time. If you do not specify the
svn:eol-style property, no end of line conversion is done by
Subversion. This is the default, because it should be the default for
a revision control system to keep the files you give it, not mangle
them in some possibly irreversible way.
You must not set the svn:eol-style property on binary file types such
as images or they will become corrupted.
You can use the client-side Subversion config file to say that files
matching certain extensions should automatically receive certain
properties with certain values, such as svn:mime-type and svn:eol-
style. This feature is called auto-props (automatic properties) and
is described in the book at http://svnbook.org
This is a client-side thing, not a server-side thing. If you want to
enforce this kind of thing at the server side, the recommended thing
to do is to install a pre-commit hook which rejects the commit of any
items that do not have the properties you require.
