Probably there is no very good reason; that's just how it was originally
written.

We still can't do a diff, true. That is not a tree conflict.

Where is that assumption coded? It is wrong.

That function uses the map of MIME types only to recognize filename
extensions, which is irrelevant for property values. It is optional, so
just pass NULL for that parameter. The function will then just use its
byte-analysing heuristic which is what you want, I think.
