We have been seeing intermittent test failures in the Fedora Subversion
build for a while. Here is an example build failure:
https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/work/tasks/5854/89115854/build.log
I think this is caused by libmagic getting applied to small files. I am
not 100% confident in this since I don't understand why it only fails
intermittently, but I think that disabling magic support in the test
suite is correct.
Any objection to the attached patch, is there a better place to do this
so it applies everywhere?

* subversion/tests/cmdline/svntest/main.py
(create_config_dir): Disable libmagic support in the default config.
