> Currently, file properties are not set in the repository.  This causes much grief when people work on text files in different systems (Windows, Linux).
> Ideally, the svn:mime-type property should be set for all files in the repository.  Minimally, 2 settings are needed:
> * Text files (*.java, *.c, *.h, Makefile, README, LICENSE, etc.):  
>   svn:mime-type : text/plain
>   svn:eol-style : native
> * Binary files
>   svn:mime-type : application/octet-stream
> Of course, one could go one step further and use more precise mime-types, such as text/html, but the above is sufficient for usual Subversion usage.
> Occasionally, some files might need to maintain a specific EOL (end of line) setting, e.g.:
> * Batch file for Windows (*.BAT)
>   svn:mime-type : text/plain
>   svn:eol-style : CRLF
> * bash script:
>   svn:mime-type : text/plain
>   svn:eol-style : LF
> Usually, the file extention is sufficient to determine the type of a file.  Here are example scripts to set up the file properties efficiently (handles file names with spaces):
> $ # -- Handle *.java files
> $ find . -type f | grep -v '/\.svn/' | grep '\.java$' | awk '{print "\"" $0 "\""}' | xargs svn ps svn:mime-type text/plain
> $ find . -type f | grep -v '/\.svn/' | grep '\.java$' | awk '{print "\"" $0 "\""}' | xargs svn ps svn:eol-style native
> $
> $ # -- Handle *.jar files
> $ find . -type f | grep -v '/\.svn/' | grep '\.jar$' | awk '{print "\"" $0 "\""}' | xargs svn ps svn:mime-type application/octet-stream
> The above must be repeated for each file extention, appropriately.
