If you want to serve the files directly out of the repository, then you must set the svn:mime-type property on each individual file.

You can use auto-props in your config file on each client to make it easy to automatically add properties when adding files. There is a script you can run to retroactively apply those properties to your existing files in the repository too. And you can write a pre-commit hook script to prevent future files from being added without their required properties.

But, consider not serving the files directly out of the repository. Instead, consider having a working copy of the appropriate subsection of the repository checked out on your web server and automatically updated at every commit. This will then use your normal Apache settings for mime type etc., and will additionally let you use server-side scripting languages like PHP if you want to.
