It can't do it directly but it can invoke a script and the script can do anything. Parse the label to get the working copy path, run a propget to get svn:mime-type and then invoke GNU diff or special diff as appropriate. Or on Linux it could run 'file --mimetype' on the given file and use that instead of svn:mime-type. -- Certified & Supported Apache Subversion Downloads: http://www.wandisco.com/subversion/download
