In the subversion config file (settings dialog, General page, click on
the "Edit" button) you can specify a custom diff tool. You could write a
simple script checking for filetypes and just return 1 for *.a66 files.
Then they won't get merged but always end up 'conflicted'. For all other
filetypes you have then to start e.g. GNU diff to do the diffing job.
