This is strange... from the SVN book

Subversion examines the svn:mime-type  property. If the file has no 
svn:mime-type  property, or has a mime-type that is textual (e.g. 
text/*), Subversion assumes it is text. Otherwise, Subversion assumes 
the file is binary. Subversion also helps users by running a 
binary-detection algorithm in the svn import  and svn add commands. 
These commands will make a good guess and then (possibly) set a binary 
svn:mime-type property on the file being added.

What mime-types are associated with the files?
