I've heard that Araxis Merge (http://www.araxis.com/) can do this via
some sort of regular expression-style configuration. But as Simon said,
Subversion never ignores any changes (even whitespace) so the files will
be marked as different and possibly in a state of conflict, regardless
of changes that any particular merge tool displays.
