No help, but maybe it can confirm that there is something
happening and probably give a further hint to narrow things down:

On spurious occasions I notice on svn updates that files knowingly
not modified locally are reported as "merged". It can't be property
edits as these are done very rarely here and then I would know
about them.

Even more spuriously merge conflicts happen on files not modified
locally at all. The *mine* section then is identical to what BASE
has. No branching involved.

So no recipe on my side either, but it makes me wonder ...

Currently SVN is 1.5.7 on W2K/XP, but I suppose it also has
happened before with 1.4 or something.
