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  

SVN properties of my new svg says:

svn:mime-type   image/svg+xml

my SVN Config is

*.svg        = svn:mime-type=image/svg+xml

.xml in config is

*.xml        = svn:eol-style=native; svn:keywords=Id; svn:mime-type=text/xml

So should I try this?
