It's not a hack. It's the correct way to go if you want to deactivate
the automatic merging for all files.

There's no such property. If you really want such a property, then you
have to ask for it on the Subversion mailing list.

But: why don't you just set the svn:mime-type property on those files
you don't want automatic merging? If you set that property to something
else than "text/...", then Subversion won't merge that file.
