Cannot import "character device" file

I want all files to be controlled, i.e. character device type file.
But i received below messages;

# svn import /dev svn://srcsvr/devices 
svn: Can't detect MIME type of non-file '/dev/fd4u3520'

# ls -l /dev/fd4u3520
brw-rw----    1 root     floppy     2, 236 Apr 11  2002 /dev/fd4u3520

# svn --version
svn, version 1.1.1 (r11581)

You are receiving this error because Subversion does not support
versioning of device files.  It can only do regular files,
directories, and Unix-style symbolic links.

The error message above is quite unclear, however.  I've patched it;
I'll commit the improved error message as soon as my patch passes
'make check'.  Thanks for the report.
