You either set up your subversion config to auto-set mime types or you directly set the mime type on the file before you commit the file using svn propset.

Sean provides a copy of his Subversion config file that accounts for many mime types. You can download and install it with this:
+
* Join the IRC channel #brlcad at irc.freenode.net and/or the [http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/brlcad-devel developer mailing list]
 +
* Read the [https://brlcad.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/*checkout*/brlcad/brlcad/trunk/HACKING developer's guide]

* Start [http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=add&group_id=105292&atid=640804 submitting patches]
