Are you talking about the use of --mime-types?  I am rather hoping
projects avoid checking in random binary files at all.

Sounds good.

Yes.  I see the file.  I am starting the svn repository load now.
Depending upon the size of the project history this may take a while.
My notes say that a typical project loads at the rate of one version
per about six seconds.  This might take a bit.

I will write again when the import is completed.
