Hello Jasper,
We already have discussions about svn 1.5 merge-tracking in mailing list.
Please see below a snippet from it:
The fact is that earlier we have just asked SVN for merge preview and built
the preview in the merge view, so that the user could decide what changes
does he want to accept and what he does not. But now it is impossible cause
we simply do not want to do SVN job of calculating and setting
merge-tracking properties, cause it is totally SCM to do that, and if we
make some failure by calculating this manually, everithing can break in your
project structure history.
It's really a pity, but it is true, that now only the merge conflicts and
skipped files are shown in the merge view.
