Yes, definetely.

Those are missing svn:eol-style:

boost.svn$ svn proplist libs/pool/doc/images/mb1.svg
Properties on 'libs/pool/doc/images/mb1.svg':
  svn:mime-type
boost.svn$ svn propget svn:mime-type libs/pool/doc/images/mb1.svg
image/svg+xml

And image/* marks this as "binary". We had this discussion  weeks ago with 
noch real decision.

boost.svn$ svn proplist 
libs/interprocess/proj/vc7ide/managed_shared_memory.vcproj
Properties on 'libs/interprocess/proj/vc7ide/managed_shared_memory.vcproj':
  svn:eol-style
  svn:mime-type
boost.svn$ svn propget svn:eol-style 
libs/interprocess/proj/vc7ide/managed_shared_memory.vcproj
CRLF
boost.svn$ svn propget svn:mime-type 
libs/interprocess/proj/vc7ide/managed_shared_memory.vcproj
text/xml

Explicit CRLF.

Dito.

The final question is how to resolve this. I am not sure which solution is 
best. I'd like to set all text-based files (including .svg and .bat) to 
svn:eol-style native and svn:mime-type text/* in svn and then re-run the 
conversion again. The main reason is that this worked really well for the rest 
of the repository.

Just my .02€

Yours,

Jürgen
