How can I serve VBS and other file types as plain text from a Subversion repository (Apache)?

I just want to browse my Subversion code repositories and view files. Some of the file types, like .VBS, prompt me to open or save the file, but I just want to view it in the browser as plain text.

Help me make an argument for why system build tools shouldn't automatically do SVN checkin

I'm trying to make a case against automated checkins to version control.
