Feel free to change that if it really bugs you.
But do we ever care about auto-detecting non-binary mimetypes in svn?

The problem here is also that we really don't know whether an empty
file will cause "application/x-empty" or something else being returned
from the magic DB. Databases out there can differ because of libmagic
versions, and they can be customized by distributors, users, sysadmins etc.
If an empty file gets a property that svn considers binary the tests
start failing all over the place.
