No.  XML files are text files and should be treated as such to get
correct line endings.  If you really don't want merging, then use
*.xml -m 'COPY' instead, but merging XML usually works just fine.

That isn't likely since CVS tells you there's a conflict when you update
and won't let you commit the file until you've fixed it.
