Not necessarily bad, but I like to keep and provide as much
information about a file as I possibly can, so that as many tools as
possible can handle it properly. It's a matter of personal preference,
but I like to have the mime-type indicated on all files if I can do it
reliably.

No, you want to set the svn:mime-type property on the individual files
themselves.
