It is a websvn bug/feature.

The subversion repository defaults files to text/plain.

Websvn does pretty printing of files it knows about. Like a C-source file
( http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/d-i/trunk/scripts/g-i/gtk_font_tester.c?op=file&rev=0&sc=0 )
but also "plain" files like a README
( http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/d-i/trunk/scripts/g-i/README?op=file&rev=0&sc=0 )

Websvn should "pretty print" text/plain files as the README file, so no syntax-coloring,
for files it has no knowledge about.

Displaying a  .sh file as Content-Type: application/x-sh doesn't help.
It is _not_ being "websvn".
It only emmits "install a plug-in in your browser yourself :-P"


This BR is allready tagged "upstream", please take it upstream.
