TortoiseMerge bug - character encoding

From: Rick Beton <richard.beton_at_roke.co.uk>

Hi all,

I noticed that TMerge doesn't seem to auto-detect character encoding
correctly. I have some XML files in UTF-8 (SVG, actually). TMerge
correctly shows the differences, but there is a cosmetic failing in that
the files are shown (I assume) in Latin1 encoding even though the files
are UTF-8 - and say so at the top.

A small improvement would be made if the files shown by TMerge are shown
with the character encoding detected correctly, which is easy for XML
files with a <?xml?> header.

This issue is presumably more significant for everyone using character
encodings that differ more markedly from Latin1, especially non-western
alphabets.

Regards,
Rick :-)
