You can set this up, but it's client side, not per-repository (yes, we
agree that it would be nice to be able to configure things on a
per-repository basis, but right now you can't). Just set the users
diff3-cmd to something that always fails without doing anything
(/bin/false comes to mind). This can be either set on the command line
(the --diff3-cmd option) or in the users ~/.subversion/config file (the
diff3-cmd in the [helpers] group).
