I noticed in a recent update that it has become impossible to set a svn:eol-style=<native|CR|CRLF|LF> property at the same time as the svn:mime-type=application/xml property is set.

XML files, whose official MIME type is "application/xml", are text files - but SVNKit now believes that they are binary, and gives this error message (depending upon which is set first):

Set properties was failed.
svn: File 'c:\somepath\somefile.xml' has svn:eol-style property set and thus cannot have binary mime type.

or

Set properties was failed.
svn: File 'c:\somepath\somefile.xml' has binary mime type property

Since when has "application/xml" been a binary mime type? I understand that mime-types such as "application/octet-stream" represent a binary files, as one example, but not all. Can you refine your filter?
