Re: [Subclipse-users] Ignore Whitespace During *Merge*

The main thing would be to look at ISVNClient as that exposes the methods
we use:

http://subversion.apache.org/docs/javahl/1.9/org/apache/subversion/javahl/ISVNClient.html

So in this case, you want Merge to ignore whitespace. When you look at the
merge methods exposed, none of those seem to support passing flags that
tell merge to ignoreWhitespace.

The diff method has been enhanced (seemingly in the 1.8 release) to accept
this new DiffOptions class with these flags, but I do not see that merge
has the same. That is what we would need to be able to expose UI options
for the same.
