OK. That's a fair point.

I don't intend to add it back.

I originally added the mime-type keyword allocations in my subversion confi=
g file when I was converting Goanna to use subversion. I carefully read up =
about subversion first, and realized what a good idea it was to annotate th=
e files with the content type.

But then I quickly discovered that in practise it isn't, as subversion won'=
t do text diffs on files when it considers the content type is not text (wh=
ich is all well and good, if it only had some knowledge about the standard =
types). I just haven't got round to removing it from my config files yet. I=
 will now.
