The Eclipse compare framework controls this and decides what to do. I
am not sure if it sniffs the file content or bases it on file
extension, or what.

Those settings control how SVN, and CVS treat the file. I know the
compare framework does not know about the SVN properties, and it
appears it also does not look at these team settings. I looked
through the Eclipse help and nothing jumps out at me in terms of what
might control this.
