Hello,

I just want to mention that the subversion backend 
    SVNkit 
of the subversion plugin for eclipse called 
    subclipse (http://subclipse.tigris.org/)
is unhappy about the trunk directory you created. It says
<svn console>
svn: PROPFIND request failed on '/svn/boost/!svn/bc/38332/trunk'
svn: Processing PROPFIND request response failed: Attribute     
name "svn:mime-type" associated with an element type "C:" must be followed by 
the ' = ' character. (/svn/boost/!svn/bc/38332/trunk)
</svn console>
if I try to look into trunk.

I use this subversion in conjunction with subclipse for my own little project 
and for a bunch of other libs (the boost sandbox, spirit, ... ) and its the 
first time this error message is shown.

I found this at gmane
    http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.ipod.gtkpod/2443
where the following is said
<quote>I believe this is svn handling badly the incorrect property names that 
were created in the CVS to SVN conversion</quote>

For those who are using subclipse, changing the backend to JavaHL is an 
alternative, since JavaHL doesn't care about the problem in the repository. 
JavaHL is a binding to the C implementation of subversion  (SVNkit is 100% 
Java).
