Setting Mime-Types Using Google Code and RapidSVN

I am using Google Code to store some files needed by my blogs. Storing files in Google Code isn't as straight forward as uploading file then hotlinking to the said files. For one thing files uploaded to Google Code is automatically served as a text-plain mime-type. Simply put HTML would simply be just plain text as well as images, and CSS. By Googling i was able to find a site that has the answer on how to store file with the correct mime-type. The site is TechPortal.in. If your using windows you should follow their guide from registering to Google Code and creating a new project. to configuring and using TortoiseSVN to upload files.

Since i'm using Ubuntu/Linux my SVN client is RapidSVN. In order to set the proper mime-type you have to edit subversion's config file using whatever text editor you like mine is gEdit. You can find the config file by going to your home and look for your .subversion folder.
Using gEdit paste the following text at the very end of the file and save the file. Hopefully everything will work out fine.
