After several unsuccessful tries at updating to SVNKit 1.3.2, I was finally able to get it to work with Subversive 0.7.9. (Our project standard development environment had been updated to native SVN client 1.6.9, so effectively moving my Eclipse SVN client from 1.6.2 to 1.6.6 seemed appropriate.)

The problem is that since that update, normal merge seems to be completely messed up graphically. As I haven't been able to find any other mention of this fairly glaring symptom, I'm assuming there's something odd about my environment and I'm "unique"... but perhaps someone has some ideas.

I work in a branch copied off of the project trunk. I make changes in the branch. Now, I merge the head of trunk onto my branch using Subversive (default "Start from Copy" range). I get the synchronize view showing all the files changed in both streams. Normally, I have only had to deal with a list of incoming changes, with perhaps one or two files marked as conflicts, with the red "double diamond" icon and "[conflicting change]" annotation on the file name.

Now, every file that has changed on either side is marked as a conflict, every time I merge, even when there are no "*.merge*" files anywhere in the tree. When there are, so far as I can see searching for them myself from a shell window is the only easy way to find which files really do have conflicts. (I can try to commit, sort the state column, and look for "Conflict"... it knows the truth; but doing a shell 'find' is usually easier, especially if there are a lot of files in the merge.)

When there are no real merge conflicts, I can just commit the merge with no problem. As I said, the commit dialog shows the correct file status. In other words, I don't think that Subversive really believes there are conflicts; it's just annotating the files in the synchronize view incorrectly.

Any ideas?
