I guess not. So for now I'm adding to our internal SVN documentation:
Fix mime.types for SVN bug
--------------------------
Unfortunately, Subversion is case-sensitive right now for the
extension, and the Apache mime.types file we use lists all
extensions in lowercase. So it will work fine when adding files
with all-lowercase extensions such as my.jpg but will not set the
mime type correctly with any other capitalization, so for
instance for my.JPG it sets the svn:mime-type to the generic
"application/octet-stream" instead of the expected specific
"image/jpeg".
If any of your projects might have uppercase extensions, you may
want to obtain fixmime.pl from ... and run it via:
perl fixmime.pl < mime.types > mime.types.upper
and replace your profile's mime.types with that.
Note that this will still only handle all upper case or all lower
case, not a mixture.
