| − | == | + | == I'm trying to add a new file to the repository and I get an error on commit about mime types. What should I do? == |
| − | + | You should set the mime type. | |
| − | + | Subversion uses file mime-types for lots of useful things like for web interface browsing of the repository. You can either set up your subversion config to auto-set mime types or you can directly set the mime type on the file before you commit the file using svn propset. | |

| − | + | Sean provides a copy of his Subversion configuration that includes property settings for many file types. You can download and install it with this: | |
| − | + | '''curl http://brlcad.org/~sean/subversion.config > ~/.subversion/config''' | |
| − | + | Once installed, run ''svn revert'' on your new file and then add it again. The properties should be set if the config file is installed properly and it's a recognized file type. | |

| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | Every added file must have the svn:mime-type property set. In | ||
| + | addition text files must have the svn:eol-style property set. | ||
| + | |||
| + | For binary files try running | ||
| + | svn propset svn:mime-type application/octet-stream path/of/file | ||
| + | |||
| + | For text files try | ||
| + | svn propset svn:mime-type text/plain path/of/file | ||
| + | svn propset svn:eol-style native path/of/file | ||
| + | |||
| + | You may want to consider uncommenting the auto-props section | ||
| + | in your ~/.subversion/config file. Read the Subversion book | ||
| + | (http://svnbook.red-bean.com/), Chapter 7, Properties section, | ||
| + | Automatic Property Setting subsection for more help. | ||
