Lübbe, I think you are misunderstanding the issue.
TortoiseMerge should not depend on "svn:eol-style" being set.
Furthermore, setting "svn:eol-style" only prevents the problem from
occurring in the future. It does not prevent the problem from
occurring in the past (TortoiseMerge diff of revisions before
"svn:eol-style" being set).
IMO, it is a bug that TortoiseMerge no longer handles mixed line
ending files when "svn:eol-style" is not set. See my previous email:
http://svn.haxx.se/tsvnusers/archive-2007-01/0121.shtml
At first, I switched between the 1.3.5 and the latest version of
TortoiseMerge to work around this problem. That got annoying, so now
I use WinMerge exclusively to view differences.
Here is an example:
1.) svn add a text file with mixed line endings (do NOT set "svn:eol-style")
2.) svn diff and TortoiseMerge diff work OK
3.) svn ci the text file
4.) modify the text file
5.) svn diff works OK but TortoiseMerge diff does not work OK
