Hm... to answer that I'd have to check out how TortoiseSVN does its job.
So if you are suggesting it's not easy, I take it you don't have any way
atm to detect whether the TortoiseSVN merge tool was just closed without
solving the conflict or whether it saved the changes and should consider
the current state as final.

I was under the impression that it saves the result in the files, so it
could detect whether the SVN merge markers were removed or not or at
least consider the incomplete merged state (aka: the file with the SVN
merge conflict markers) as the file to be committed.
Obviously testing this here points out that this is not how things are
working atm (i.e. after step 3 the 4 files all look the same to me be it
with or without having resolved the conflict in the TortoiseSVN merge tool).

I just tested the nightly and the current behavior is perfect IMO. It
certainly prevents the occasional errors some of the users did here
resulting in empty files.
So thanks alot for that change.
