The JavaHL Error has been out there for a while and it also happens
with the command line. There is either no test for this, or someone
has abused (IMO) XFAIL. So when the core libraries fix this bug, then
JavaHL should start passing this test again. The problem is with the
--accept=theirs-full | base option when doing a merge.

The failure is relatively new, and involves the diff tests. There is
work going on in this area and there have been failing tests in the
main test suite, so I suspect these are related. I have been holding
off looking at it until that work seems done, as I kind of expected
the test to start working again. Based on the assertion failure, it
sounds like a bug in the main libraries and not JavaHL. I will take a
closer look when I get a chance.

Thanks for getting the Ruby bindings passing.
