For me to do the real test I need to apply the patch to 1.6.x and rebuild TortoiseSVN.
I will let you know how I get on.

I have convinced myself that merged_revision can not be invalid
now so the existing code will always work. So making a test to show
that a change is required should not be possible

However, this is only because the invalid revision numbers are all less than 0.

Which ever way you look at it my patch is wrong here. The best that
I can see at the moment would be
-      if (merged_revision < revision)
-        {
+ /* if revision is invalid that means local mods so don't blame a merge */
+      if (SVN_IS_VALID_REVNUM(revision) && merged_revision < revision)
+        {

The invalid revision numbers only seem to enter the system when
there are local mods and I'm not convinced that using an invalid
revision number is the best way of reporting that back. I'm not putting
my hand up to change the client interface here though.
