Merge reports conflict on extern properties

I have a directory referencing about 100 versioned externs. If two
developers change separate entries in the externs property, an attempt
to merge is always marked as a conflict (presumable because the property
is viewed as a single 'text line'.) However, the TortoiseSVN conflict
resolution tool (usually) reports the changes correctly (as mergable).
So, should svn take a more intelligent roll in merging know property
formats, or can TortoiseSVN apply some hints, or does anyone have better
ideas on branch-trunk merges of externs: property?
