There's a way to set it automagically when first committing the files.
Open ~/.subversion/config and check out the [auto-props] section. Make
sure to 'enable-auto-props = yes'.

You'll still need to set the correct properties on the files in the
repository.

Subversion will assume everything is either text/plain or
application/octet-stream unless you have auto-props enabled and
configured.
