Yes, of course. The "diff tool" could be a script that looks at the SVN
file properties in the working copy (via "svn propget svn:mime-type,"
for example). However, note that this would work when explicitly calling
invoking "svn diff". It would _not_ magically make Subversion merge
differences in binary files using your tool during "svn update", because
Subversion's notion of when a file is binary is hard-coded, and if it
thinks a file is binary, it won't invoke diff3 to do the merge.
