Thanks for the patch. A few comments though:

- can you provide a use case where TMerge handles non-existing files? I
don't know exactly when/why that should ever happen (maybe it's a bug in
TortoiseMerge?). Or are you talking about applying a patch where there's
a file newly added in the patch?
- you're using a fixed string for the hint text. That's not so good
since TSVN get's translated into a lot of languages. So we always put
such strings into the resources. (I can do that myself, if you just
explain when/where/why TMerge works with non-existing files).
