svn config file and mime types

So, this is a feature request of sorts.

We are using commit checks to make sure mime types are set correctly in
our repository. This works great. However, it means that each client
must have a correctly configured client.

Basically something like this:

UNIX ~/.subversion/config
Cygwin ~/.subversion/config
Windows ~/Application Data/Subversion/config

The problem is that this config file is not under version control! Each
user has some random copy of it from when they installed svn. There is
no way to update this file for all of the users other than sending out
an email.

There should be some way to store this file in the repository itself.
Maybe svn could first look here:
UNIX ~/.subversion/config
Cygwin ~/.subversion/config
Windows ~/Application Data/Subversion/config

Then append anything it found in the root of the project tree with the
name config. Basically, this information should be part of the project
or repository. I maybe missing something. Is there a better way to do
this? Right now we have a wiki entry that has a list of mime types that
you have to copy into your config file. Almost without fail each new
user forgets or mis-configures the file. Then things become a mess.
