I've looked through this several times now to try and be sure that I'm not
missing anything.

Previously, the "Special case" block handled both when to merge the binary
file, as well as how. Now, the "when" logic is now the same logic as text
files, and the how has been moved into libsvn_wc (rather than
libsvn_client).

I've attached the file version of the patch.

Yep, this is already done as part of the standard merge logic (ie why
doesn't left exist? It is an incoming add, or already deleted in the WC,
etc).

Gotcha (I just couldn't figure out where the TRUE/FALSE reference came
from), but anywho ...

Yep. I've attached the (final) version of the patch (generated with the C
functions this time), and the log message is below.

[[[
Fix issue #3686 - executable bit not set during merge.

The cause was the special case in libsvn_client, which bypassed the use of
the
workqueue. This logic has now been moved into libsvn_wc.

Additionally, this change allows the status of binary files (during a
dry-run
merge) to be reported correctly (previously, all binary files were reported
as
conflicted).

* subversion/libsvn_client/merge.c
 (merge_file_changed): Remove binary-merge special case (now in libsvn_wc).
  Remove merge_required variable (resulting in indentation changes).

* subversion/libsvn_wc/merge.c
 (merge_binary_file): Add dry_run parameter. Add the special case merging
  of binary files.
 (svn_wc__internal_merge): Remove dry_run check for binary files, and pass
to
  merge_binary_file instead.

* subversion/tests/cmdline/merge_tests.py
 (merge_change_to_file_with_executable): Remove @XFail decorator.
]]]

Let me know if there's anything else I need to fix up.

Cheers,
Daniel B.
