One thing to consider is that in the future, there might be a need for such a
thing as configurable diff/merge programs. For example, for
"{text,application}/xml" or "*/*+xml", use some XML-specific merge program,
for "text/*" use the default built-in merge, and for other types do no merge.
The logical place to configure these associations would be in the same config
file as the text/not-text lists that we are discussing today. If the default
list is hardcoded in the svn binary, then that would have to change in the
future anyway in order to allow respecification of the default diff/merge
programs for those mime-types.
Are you still following me? :-) My point is that although it does seem like
there is not a reason today, there could be a reason to change a default
item in the future.
