   EOL-conversion, MIME type and encoding (charset) are three different
concepts. Yes, all of them must be supported, but not necessary in one
configuration mechanism.
   Subversion handles these issues by providing svn:eol-style and
svn:mime-type (handles both MIME type and charset) properties on a
file-by-file basis.
