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.
]]]
