The problem I see here is that the function "compare with working copy"
actually creates a unified diff (i.e., a patch) which then TMerge
"applies" to the working copy to show you the diff. But the svn lib has
some problems with that diff if the file in the working copy is modified
(the pathfile is created agains the working BASE, so agains your working
copy *without* the local modifications). This leads to problems in
TMerge because it still tries to apply the patch to your locally
modified files (it can't apply them to the working BASE apparently).

Until the diff function in the svn lib also works with WC instead of
BASE, I'm afraid you have to live with that problem. Sorry.

But the whole diffing functions are currently rewritten, so this *might*
work a lot better once version 1.7 comes out.
