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

And it previously worked OK for me.

And many existing files are of type image/svg+xml

Now when I try to add a new svg file

I get

Command: Add  
Error: File   
Error:
'I:\boost-sandbox\math_toolkit\libs\math\doc\sf_and_dist\graphs\laplace_pdf.
svg'   
Error: has binary mime type property  

Since svg is actually pure xml, text.svg+xml might make more sense.

But something appears to have changed.

Yours puzzled.
