TMerge didn't have any file list, it came up empty.

Rather than figuring out what's missing from my repository
description, I created a simple test repository.

Examine the attached file then rename it to a .bat extension. Running
it will set up a repository and working copy which demonstrates the
problem.

After the script runs you should have an explorer window in the br1
branch. Do "check for modifications" and create a patch from both
files.

On applying this patch in the "br2" branch, the TMerge window comes up
blank, with no file list.

Go back to the br1 branch, and this time do "create patch" from the
top-level TSVN menu. Copy this patch to the "br2" branch and apply.
File list is populated and I can "patch all items" to apply the patch
with no problems.
