I see that variable, but ... it's variable. And unless ethereal is
making stuff up, we most certainly do use the MERGE. If my reading is
correct, we only disable the MERGE details (the resource) stuff when
the user is doing a working-copy-less commit (svn rmdir URL, svn
import URL, etc.). This from get_commit_editor():

  /* If the caller didn't give us any way of storing wcprops, then
     there's no point in getting back a MERGE response full of VR's. */
  if (ras->callbacks->push_wc_prop == NULL)
    cc->disable_merge_response = TRUE;
