From SVN manual "For example, if a file's svn:mime-type property is
set to a non-text MIME type (generally, something that doesn't begin
with text/, though there are exceptions), Subversion will assume that
the file contains binary—that is, not human-readable—data."
(http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.advanced.props.file-portability.html#svn.advanced.props.special.mime-type)
I checked the manual and came to the same conclusion. I have change the
auto_props code to first set the mime-type based on the binary flag and
then check for auto properties. So if the mime-type is overwritten by
the auto_props, we will loose application/octer-stream in favor of a
better description.
Since I don't have much experiences with properties, I was wondering,
whether it is possible to have multiple mime-types. E.g. I dealing a lot
with PDF files but i'm interested in rendered images of the PDF file. So
I would assign a "image/PDF" mime-type instead of "application/PDF". But
both views of it a correct, so having both wouldn't be totally wrong.
