Re: binary mime type property svn error

[Quinn Taylor]

Since this occurs when adding new files, it seems that Subversion is assigning a binary MIME types behind your back. :-) This means that a property of the type svn:mime-type is added as metadata to the file. In Versions, click on the file, view info (Cmd-I) or File > Show Inspector, then click on "Show Raw Properties" at the bottom. You can remove or change the MIME type here for each file.

The longer-term fix is to make sure that the [auto-props] section in ~/.subversion/config is not set to assign a binary type to .php files. It's probably best to use text/plain, although you could experiment with the non-standard PHP types listed here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_media_type

BTW, this SVN config file only changes settings on the client (and in this case, only for your user on the machine), not the server. Auto- props are a really cool feature of Subversion, but if set incorrectly, they can cause confusion such as this.

I get lately this error when trying to add files :

File '/a_path/myupload_lang.php' has binary mime type property
