tests: work around libmagic bug in svn subrepo tests libmagic 5.40 introduced a bug [1] wherein ASCII text files with fewer than 3 distinct character values would be reported as binary data rather than as text. This bug was later fixed in version 5.41 [2]. SVN uses libmagic to determine the MIME type of added files with missing or unknown extensions [3]. This results in test failures on systems with libmagic 5.40 installed: $ echo a > a $ svn add a - A a + A (bin) a A simple workaround is to change the test file's content to include 3 distinct ASCII values (including the terminating newline).
