[boost] [Subversion] Subversion repository is now enforcing mime-types and eol-styles

Subversion handles end-of-line translation a bit differently from CVS. 
In Subversion, individual files need to be marked with both a mime-type 
and, for text files, an eol-style. These attributes determine how the 
Subversion client does end-of-line translation when communicating with 
the server. To maintain these properties requires some initial 
configuration of your Subversion client, described here under the "MIME 
types..." section:

  http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/BoostSubversion

The Subversion repository will verify that you have set the mime-type 
and eol-style properly when you try to commit, and will reject any 
commits that contain files without an appropriate MIME type. The 
configuration information above will automate the process of adding 
mime-types and eol-styles to new files, so the handling of end-of-line 
translation should be transparent in most cases.

For more information about Subversion properties and how they are used 
with end-of-line translation, see:
