Re: Resend: Issue #1297: `svn diff' after `svn merge' that adds a file fails

Merge doesn't do 'svn add' it does 'svn copy' to get copyfrom history.

There is a comment in libsvn_wc/diff.c:file_diff

  /* If the item is schedule-add *with history*, then we don't want to
     see a comparison to the empty file; we want the usual working
     vs. text-base comparision. */
  if (copied)
    schedule = svn_wc_schedule_normal;

I don't remember writing that bit, perhaps someone else put it in.
