I cannot say definitively that Subversion has this problem, but I do a lot
of J2EE development. A common task all of the developers have to do is add
new values to the end of a resource bundle/properties file, as well as make
edits to the same general section of an XML configuration file. Because
the edits are to the same area of the file, they typically show as
conflicts. In this case, a proper merge is to insert both sets of edits
into the file. Actually, I wonder if TMerge would even allow me to do
that? We have been working on other projects since moving to Subversion,
but when we were on CVS and doing a lot of J2EE, this came up all of the
time and was a pain.
