Here are the exact repro steps:
- create directory "C:\tsvnrepro"
- create FSFS repository there
- allow anon read/write in svnserve.conf
- svnserve --daemon --listen-port 4711 --foreground --root D:\tsvnrepro
- create folder "/test1"
- checkout "test1"
- create text file "test.txt" in local folder "test1" with one line of text
- add "test.txt" to repository and commit
- in Repo-Browser, copy "/test1" to "/test2"
- add another line of text to "test1/test.txt" and commit
- checkout "test2"
- merge from "/test1/test.txt", rev 2 to rev 4 (To = Use From URL) into
working copy test2/test.txt
- after-merge dialog says "Update", but Windows Explorer shows "!"
(correctly), because the 2nd line of text was added to "test2/test.txt"

So, I should be able to get the same diff by clicking on the file in the
after-merge dialog.
