Re: [Subclipse-users] CollabNet merge tool on Subclipse 1.6, Eclipse 3.5 OS X Carbon, javaHL

Not sure I understand the outgoing changes. The diff is showing the first
line as having changed but no changes exist.

When I do a Team > Show Properties it says "Some properties have been
modified since your last commit" but doesn't show any of the SVN properties.
Is this saying that the merge has actually removed properties from the
files? Also, all of our Java files have svn:keywords but these seem to have
disappeared after the merge as well.

This is a result of renaming files in versions prior to SVN 1.5.6? I thought
svn:mergeinfo wasn't even introduced until 1.5.x and we have been svn 1.3.2
the whole time. Is this a function of newer clients performing
copies/renames?

Thanks for the explanations by the way.
