Had the same issue with javascript and SVG files. For the latter I
ended up commenting out the MIME setting, for the former I fell
back to the deprecated text/javascript. Dunno what good it does in
either case, probably there is some relevance when browsing the
repository. For binary files like images or PDF I guess it is better
to set a MIME type of at least application/something so that by
any chance SVN does not consider it as ASCII. And then one can
do it right and set the correct MIME type ...
