Yes I know. The point is: TMerge expects the four files Subversion
creates with conflicting text files, but you passed only three files
to it which are created for binary files. So the "theirs, yours, mine,
..." is not recognized correctly by TMerge. That's why there's no
three way merge, that's why you see the 'wrong' files in the left and
right view.

You see, TortoiseMerge isn't linked with the full Subversion library,
only with libsvn_diff. So checking the mime-type would require to link
against the full library.

I'll think of a way to do this automatically when choosing "edit
conflicts", but in the meantime, select the file with the conflicted
icon and the one with the higher .rXXX number, then choose "diff" from
the TSVN context menu.
