Your archive only contains two text files which differ in one line
(which, I agree, should be easily mergeable). Could you provide a
recipe, starting with "svnadmin create", that demonstrates the
problem with Subversion? Or attach the dump of a small repository
showing the problem, and the svn commands used to show the problem?
