Can I prevent certain files from being auto merged?

Hi, all
I have tried to find previous topics on this question and also other published articles and I'm afraid I've drawn a blank.
I have a scenario where I want to somehow mark a file, by name or maybe by particular file suffix, as never to be merged.
The file would probably be a text file by default (XML or even standard text) but if this file was ever in a merging scenario I want the user to be given the choice to accept incoming as a total replacement or to choose to keep his local copy instead. I guess this is the behavior I would expect for a true binary file
I've tried to make a change to the file types within the Eclipse client to specify application/unknown as a MIME type and Binary(None) for line types but a merge was initiated on accepting conflicting versions into my workspace
Is this possible?
Thanks
David
