When I tried to diff a newly added file (without text-base file), I
got the impression that an empty text-base file was present, because
TortoiseSVN didn't report an error.

And, besides that. TortoiseMerge doesn't validate the filenames
supplied as command arguments, when using /base:, /theirs: and /yours:

in function CFileTextLines::Load
                //file does not exist, so just return SUCCESS

I'm sorry. I'm only beginning to understand how the source code is
organized. I guessed a _T( ) call would be sufficient. Apparently I'm
wrong.

I leave it up to you to decide whether or not to commit this patch
