No. There was a long discussion on dev@, but nothing every became of
it, due to lack of agreement on design if I recall. Pick a textual
mime-type and it will work as you want it to.

No, 'svn move' is delete and add-with-history, so the auto-props never
kick in (nor would you want them to). Subversion has to copy the old
object completely or it would defeat the purpose of add-with-history.
