Yes, project files can be real PITA creating unnecessary conflicts (Visual
Studio anyone?).

Maybe, you should be looking for users on the users list ;)

It is clear that the kinds of conflicts you are talking about requires tool
/ file type specific
conflict resolution code. TSVN does support per-file-type diff & merge tool
selection
(
http://tortoisesvn.net/docs/nightly/TortoiseSVN_en/tsvn-dug-settings.html#tsvn-dug-settings-progs
)

So far these tools will be invoked for displaying & editing changes and
conflicts. If you could
provide a few scripts that attempt to resolve typical conflicts, we could
add an "attempt
auto-resolve" feature to TSVN that would invoke registered conflict
resolution scripts
on those files and mark the conflicts as resolved depending on the script's
return value.
