That is very likely. Set the svn:eol-style property to 'native' to
minimise this sort of problem, especially when different line endings
are common.

If there is no difference in the long line of code, it should not show
as changed (unless there is a line-end difference). If there is a
difference, then TMerge just sees 1 line deleted and 3 lines added (take
a look at the unified diff output which Subversion supplies). It does
not attempt to re-align within the changed lines.
