[boost] [SVN Configuration] Request an additional MIME type to support Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG)

To upload Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) images to the Sandbox do I
simply update my local subversion configuration (as mentioned here
http://tinyurl.com/2zqoqm) to include the MIME details for SVG files or
will something need to be updated on the server as well?

As mentioned at http://tinyurl.com/2dteq2 RFC 3023
(http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3023.txt) has this to say about the SVG MIME
type:

---------- RFC info on SVG -------------
8.19 Image/svg+xml

   Content-type: image/svg+xml

   <?xml version="1.0" ?>

   Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) documents are XML documents whose
   content describes graphical information, as defined by [SVG].  As a
   format based on XML, SVG documents SHOULD use the '+xml' suffix
   convention in their MIME content-type identifier.  However, no
   content type has yet been registered for SVG and so this media type
   should not be used until such registration has been completed.

---------- END RFC info on SVG -------------

Should I simply update my local configuration file to include the line:

*.svg        = svn:eol-style=native; svn:mime-type=image/svg+xml

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Peter.
