ok, thank you.

But, my dir is mounted in binmode localy, and the files style is 
mime-type, application/octet-stream, so svn should not alter those 
files.

Could  svn server being mounted in textmode be the problem ?
What is weird is that the file get corrupted on the local copy on 
COMMIT, not on checkout or update.
Why would svn change local copy on commit ?

Svn server is a linux server (not administred by me), i don't think it 
is mounted in textmode, as textmode under linux will occure only for 
certains filesystems (fat for exemple), and here, i doubt svn repo is 
on a fat FS.
