RE: Re: TSVN 1.8.6 & merge conflict, prefer repository => wrong behavior: chooses local

Hi.

Having the same problem here. For me the problem is mainly with binary files.

I understand, as you explain, that for code files, only the conflicted lines are replaced by repository.

But for binary files, it is not possible to differentiate the conflicted part, so the whole file should be copied, imho.

For example, I just merged a branch containing a few modifications, including a docx file. The mime type of the file is binary (application/octet-stream), but choosing "prefer repository" is not replacing the file, as described by Panu Outinen.

I'm kind of freaked out that this would happen on a large merge, where it would be easy not to notice a missing docx file not modified among hundreds of code files.

Habitually, when merging, I resolve each conflict has it occurs, within the merge dialog.

Could I open a bug on this?

Thanks a lot for your good work!
