Unfortunately, 1.3.0 is really quite old at the moment, and the
subversion support has been updated several times since. Could you
please re-test with a recent version of Meld (ideally git HEAD) and
see whether the issue is reproducible? (You can just run Meld after
extracting the downloaded archive; no need to install or anything.)

We do have a couple of outstanding bugs with SVN support: keyword
expansion and svn:eol-style both cause us problems.
