Subclipse does not do the work. It is a UI layer on top of the
Subversion libraries. When you take the merge option we run the
Subversion API for merge and it does all of the work of talking to the
server and updating the local files and deciding if it can
automatically merge the content or not.

If you were to run the svn merge command from the command line you
should get the exact same results.

If you really doubt Subversion and want to test then make your tests
more realistic. Create a file with a dozen lines and make more
realistic changes. Like changing different words on the same line or
adding a line in the middle etc.
