Re: catching up to the trunk.

Bob,

The commands I ran (or rather subclipse's version of them) are already
included in this email. Ed Price also did a good job of providing a
replication script:

"Here is a simple cmdline reproduction (simplified, but hopefully still
valid):

$ svnadmin create repos
$ svn co file://`pwd`/repos wc
Checked out revision 0.
$ cd wc
$ echo "1" > foo
$ echo "2" > bar
$ svn add foo bar
A foo
A bar
$ svn ps svn:mime-type x/y foo bar
property 'svn:mime-type' set on 'foo'
property 'svn:mime-type' set on 'bar'
$ svn ci -m ""
Adding (bin) bar
Adding (bin) foo
Transmitting file data ..
Committed revision 1.
$ svn up
At revision 1.
$ echo "2" > foo
$ svn ci -m ""
Sending foo
Transmitting file data .
Committed revision 2.
$ svn up
At revision 2.
$ svn merge foo@1 foo@2 bar
C bar
$

The last conflict is the problem. If one removes the propset (so the
files are considered text), the merge does not produce a conflict.
