PDF in repository
Hello,
Sometimes SVN treats pdf as binary other times as text.
Is it possible to manually tell svn: "treat this file as binary"?
Cheers,

As an FYI, this 'sometimes' behavior is probably an artifact of PDF file
format and the hueristic Subversion uses to see if a file is binary.
Subversion is probably (I have not checked this) looking for non 0-127 chars
in the first x KB (typically 1 to 4) of the file. PDF files are a special
flavor of PostScript files. PostScript is text based and so it's quite
likely that a PDF will contain much text - it can even be all text if
compression is not use and bitmapped images are not present.

Just need to set the mime-type property to application/pdf.
