Integrating kdiff3 with svn command-line client

Hello list,

I'm struggling for 2 days now with the integration of kdiff3 with the
"svn" command-line client (version 1.5.0). As recommended by the good
book, I've written a wrapper script around kdiff3, but I can't get the
resulting file where it should be.

Here is what already works:
- when a conflicting merge is detected, svn displays the following message:

-------------------<cut>---------------------
taranis:~/wc/bidon/trunk$ svn merge --reintegrate
http://taranis/repos/sysadmin/bidon/branches/PRS-4
Conflict discovered in 'machin'.
Select: (p) postpone, (df) diff-full, (e) edit,
         (h) help for more options: l
-------------------<cut>---------------------

- I type 'l' and this launches kdiff3, which opens with the expected 3
versions of the file (BASE, THEIRS, MINE).

- I use kdiff3 to resolve the conflicts and I save the resulting file (a
temp file whose name has been generated by my wrapper).

- When exiting kdiff3, the contents of the temp file is sent to stdout
(simply using "cat") as requested in the book, and the script exits with
a '0' return code. I can see the expected file contents being displayed
in my shell, then svn prints the following message:

-------------------<cut>---------------------
[...]
BROL="machin"
BIDULE="foobar"
Select: (p) postpone, (df) diff-full, (e) edit, (r) resolved,
         (h) help for more options: r
-------------------<cut>---------------------

- I press 'r' to signify that all conflicts have been resolved, upon
which svn proceeds with the actual merge:

-------------------<cut>---------------------
--- Merging differences between repository URLs into '.':
U machin
-------------------<cut>---------------------

Unfortunately, when I check the file contents post merge, it still
contains the ">>>>>>>" and "<<<<<<" strings typical of unresolved conflicts.

What am I doing wrong ?

TIA

Cheers. Bye.

Ph. A.
