What an interesting tool!
I'll publish some SRPM hooks for RHEL for it as quickly as possible:
there are out of date SRPM's for OpenSuSE. There have certainly been
times I'd want to extract inappropriate files accidentally stored in
Subversion, such as plain text password files from MySQL setups, or
bulky DVD images.

Another tool you might look into is:
reposurgeon: http://www.catb.org/esr/reposurgeon/
I have not used it yet, but it seems promising. It is under active
development.

If you want to rewrite the history of your repository, then using a tool like svndumptool is a good idea.

Yes, that is what you would do. The svndumptool utility I mentioned helps you do that. Yes, you'll end up with a new repository with a new UUID and will need to check out all new working copies.

Oh, boy! I've worked with a few Atlassian tools, such as Fisheye, and
Jira, and that's a new one on me. Stripping something like that out
of the *history* of the repository is going to be a nightmare. How did
it get set that way in the first place? And how will you prevent it
from happening again? That sounds more like a configuration area when
the repository was set up, because it's not a default setting in
Subversion itself.
Hmmm. Can you do an "svnadmin dump" and strip the contents to remove
all the "svn:mime-types" property wsettings, then use "svnadmin load"
to create a new repository without those settings? There'd be a
certain finite chance I recognize that this would give you a new
repository, but Subversion is pretty unfriendly to altering your
history: this might be safest.

Hi,
I need to remove properties from history because we started to use this
tool(http://www.atlassian.com/software/crucible/) and all files in our
repository have mime-type: application/octet stream(fisheye treats files as
binary), so we do not see codes, code change history, we can not do
reviews,....

Look at svn help propdel and especially the -R parameter, depending on
the size of your repo, your OS etc. you can even simply select all
files and change properties using TortoiseSVN for all selected files.

A simple ask would be you can't, as this is not any easy task. But you
don't even need to change the history or what are the effects of
revisions from the past to your current development?
