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.

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.
