I didn't say that it won't work with TSVN. It does, and a lot of people
use it with TSVN. All I'm saying is that it can't do three way diffs and
therefore isn't very well suited for resolving conflicts. But if you
still want to use it, just go ahead!

Maybe TortoiseMerge will be able to do that someday...

psychedelic colors? Hard words - and if you check the WinDiff program
which comes with the windows SDK you will see that it uses the same
colors (in TortoiseMerge one-pane-view). And the colors in two and three
pane view are the same as P4Diff and P4Merge uses.
Also, you can change the colors in the settings dialog.

I'm currently working on that - see my mails with subject "TODO list for
1.1.0" on this list.
