Strictly speaking, there are two exceptions: image/x-xbitmap and
image/x-xpixmap are also treated as text.

No, Subversion will happily convert line endings on any file on which
you set svn:eol-style, regardless of MIME type or whether Subversion
would otherwise think the file is text or binary. Do not set svn:eol-
style on binary files because it will likely either complain about
the inconsistent "line endings" in the file, or it will corrupt the
file.
