You need to look at *what* those changes are that are being committed.
There are 2 types of changes - content, and properties. In the TSVN
Commit window, there will be 2 columns in the bottom pane that
indicate this - Text Status (content changes) and Property Status.
If the content hasn't changed, Text Status will show "normal", if it
has changed, it will show "modified". Same goes for Property Status.
As I stated above, it's likely that the svn:mergeinfo property is
changed (which will be indicated by Property Status showing
"modified"), and THAT is the change that TSVN wants to commit.
