Why should the repository have anything to say about it at all?
Size and presence of text-base is a *purely* client-side concern. If
you have a big disk with fast I/O, you might want them all. If you
have a small disk, or don't use the working copy much, you might not
want them at all. Or you might only want text bases for non-binary
files.
All of these are concerns local to the working copy user; the
repository administrators cannot predict these needs. So I don't see
any point in repository configurability for this feature.
