Ah, will do that in the future. Oops.

I thought about that, but this situation fixes itself after the 'svn
merge/svn commit' combination. However, after using --reintegrate. and
committing, the executable bit is still not set, so I think there might be
something more going on there.

My logic for the placement was: it's exercising a problem with the svn merge
process, so it belongs in merge_tests.py. Maybe that was wrong.

Actually, the test passes if you only take out the assertion for the
'alpha_path' - the problem only arises when merging binary files, it works
correctly for non-binary files. That's why I've got both in the test case.

Thanks for the review, Daniel. I'll make these changes, and will send later
tonight. Is it preferable to be in a new email, or in a reply to this one?

Cheers,
