Hi Kamesh,
Thank you very much for the clarification.
Are there any steps I should take to recommend this as an enhancement,
or has this already been taken into consideration.
Thanks
Lakshman

It fails as the 'context of the patch' and the merge target are
different.
Context of patch(reversal of r3)
- ------------------------------
- --- test.c 2008-05-05 20:36:23.981582944 +0530
+++ test.c 2008-05-05 20:36:32.319315416 +0530
@@ -1,3 +1,2 @@
line1
line2
- -line3
This patch tries to remove 'line3' which follows 'line1' and 'line2'. It
also means 'line3' should be the last line of the target. In your case
'line3' is the third line(not the last line) and hence you get a
conflict.
Having said that I could see 'gnu diff and patch tool is intelligent
enough to handle this particular case'.
So it could be an ENHANCEMENT that we can have in our core svn.
With regards
Kamesh Jayachandran
