RE: unexpected conflict merging branch into trunk (after merging trunk into branch)

I sometimes get conflicts when I add a blank line,
or removed a tab on the same line. And yes, this
happens a lot for me.

>>

>>## Then, in a working-copy of trunk, I added a new file,

>>training/trunk> svn commit -m "Initial checkin" myNewFile
>>Adding myNewFile
>>Transmitting file data .
>>Committed revision 224.

>>
>>
>>## Then in trunk I edited that file, and commited it again:
>>training/trunk> echo "This is added in trunk" >> myNewFile
>>training/trunk> svn commit -m "Updated in trunk" myNewFile
>>Sending myNewFile
>>Transmitting file data .
>>Committed revision 225.
>>
>>
>>
>>## Then, I merged trunk into the new branch:
>>training/test_merge> svn merge -r 223:225
>>svn+ssh://mldev/TRAINING/trunk
>>A myNewFile
>>training/test_merge> svn commit -m "Merging trunk r223:225 into
>>branches/test_merge"
>>Adding myNewFile
>>Committed revision 226.
>>
>>
>>
>>## Next, I edited the file in the branch, and commited it there:

>myNewFile
>>training/test_merge> svn commit -m "updated in branch" myNewFile
>>Sending myNewFile
>>Transmitting file data .
>>Committed revision 227.
>>
>>
>>
>>## Finally, I went back to trunk, to merge the branch back into it:

>> svn+ssh://mldev/TRAINING/branches/test_merge
>>C myNewFile
>>
>>
>>
>>## As noted there, I got a conflict, which seems incorrect.
