There is some issue with the mime types that lead svn to consider text
files to be binary files.  This is explained in the svn FAQ, I am not
sure what to do, but I think that changing the mime type of the files to
have text/ first instead of application would certainly be best.
Here is the faq entry
http://subversion.apache.org/faq.html#binary-files


I have a much more problematic issue, when I commit I get
...
Envoi tp/tests/sectioning/res_parser/no_node_chapter_split/no_node.2
Envoi tp/tests/sectioning/res_parser_html/no_node_chapter_split/no_node.2
Transmission des données ...............svn: Échec de la propagation
(commit), détails : 
svn: attempt to write a readonly database
svn: attempt to write a readonly database
svn: Le message de propagation a été laissé dans un fichier temporaire :
svn:    '/home/dumas/src/texinfo/svn-commit.2.tmp'

Which may be approximately translated as

Sending tp/tests/sectioning/res_parser/no_node_chapter_split/no_node.2
Sending tp/tests/sectioning/res_parser_html/no_node_chapter_split/no_node.2
Transmiting data...............svn: failed to propagate (commit),
details:
svn: attempt to write a readonly database
svn: attempt to write a readonly database
svn: the commiit message was left in a temporary file
svn:    '/home/dumas/src/texinfo/svn-commit.2.tmp'

My commits go through, though, but no commit messages.  I'll certainly
try to do more testing tomorrow.
