File Content Type/Executablitiy?

Hi all,

I build my application using a unix shell script. I commited this script
into my svn repo. using Eclips IDE. The problem was that when this script
was checked out from svn it did not run properly and terminated at places
where it was syntactically correct. I suppose this is becaue of the ^M
characters / end of line characters not recognized.

The soulution that i thought of is to commit the build script from the linux
system, using --encoding ASCII option. This is working for me.

But as I was going thorugh the manual again, I got to see the section 'File
Content Type' where in this problem has mentioned. What I remember read
there is 'set the svn:mime to native' . But I have not tried this yet.

Can any one please comment/give insight on which of the above is more
correct and should be used?
