RE: confusion over external svn diff and merge on windows

Ahh yes, I should have mentioned that I have tried this change already.
Oops.
Removing the "--" parameters passing to diff3 performs a three-way diff
of the files passed. I am after a three way merge, so this would be more
like what I am needing to specify.

%DIFF3% %BASE% %MINE% %YOURS% -o %RESULT_FILE%

Base being the file at the revision at which the branch was taken.

Using exactly what is suggested does present the kdiff window, after
complaining about having a -E passed to it. It does have source in the
various panes, although I am uncertain if they are round the right way
at this point (that is for me to work out later). And when I close the
window (after resolving the conflicts) I am not presented with the
option to resolve the merge conflict, so svn still thinks the file is in
conflict.
