The easiest solution would be to set svn:needs-lock on all files, rather
than changing the mime-type. This is a good idea to do for binary
files, at the least.
Still, I must ask, why do you feel a need to disable merging? The vast
majority of the time, it does the right thing; the remainder of the
time, having the developer test the result of the merge will reveal any
problems. And, as I stated in the other thread, if your developers are
stepping on each other's toes, trying to fix the same problem in
different manners, the issue is actually with communication between
developers--they should be working on separate issues. (Otherwise you
end up duplicating work, which is wasteful.)
