If you don't allow svn:mime-type for binary files, you're gonna have a hard time. Subversion has always been setting this property on binary files. Please read our documentation about this (at svnbook.org). If you don't set this property on binary files, your users will complain that output of 'svn diff' contains binary garbage, and 'svn merge' will suddenly try to merge PNG files as text. Make your pre-commit hook smarter. Limit it to *.xml files.
