Well, something is definately not working right, since I would expect
a clean merge when all files are in repos normal form.
This patch confirms my suspicion and shows that diff3 behaves the
same way as the internal merge code (it leaves the files that
were used to do the merge instead of translated ones):

After applying that, use the repro recipe:
$ svn co http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/branches/0.18.1/build/win32
$ cd win32
$ svn merge -r 5007:5008 http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/build/win32

It doesn't really matter if you merge files with CRLF or LF endings,
as long as it is consistent. I don't think the outcome of the
merge would be any different.

My thoughts exactly.

Hmpf, yes, that would be a problem.

And that sounds like a viable solution ;)
