Check the settings of TortoiseMerge: do you ignore line endings? Or
whitespace changes? If yes, then of course TMerge won't show you a
difference because you specifically *ignored* those changes.

There's one other thing that TMerge didn't catch (in 1.3.x releases): if
the file had an EOL removed or added on the last line.
