You can disable libmagic by setting the environment variable MAGIC

$ svnadmin create repo
$ svn co file://`pwd`/repo wc
$ echo "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' ?>" > wc/a.xml
$ echo "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' ?>" > wc/b.xml
$ svn add wc/a.xml
A  (bin)  wc/a.xml
$ MAGIC= svn add wc/b.xml 
A         wc/b.xml
$ svn pl -vR wc
Properties on 'wc/a.xml':
  svn:mime-type
    application/xml
