No, unfortunately the information from that message is generally not helpful; it's an old leftover that I need to clean out at some stage. As I said before, there are two known issues with Meld + SVN: Bug 557615 - svn keyword expansion causing patch to fail https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=557615 Bug 613685 - Invoking 'patch' failed - svn diff for files with "svn:eol-style" https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=613685 If you're not seeing one of those two, I definitely want to know more about it! The only sane way to get around these problems is to use a different approach. I posted a patch here a while ago (attaching again to this email) that introduces a new mechanism, but there was no interest and it dropped off the radar. Also, Subversion removed the feature that makes this patch work in 1.7, so it's of limited usefulness anyway. I'm guessing this patch will fix your issue for now. > Also, a really NICE feature to consider, is allowing users (i.e. me!) to return > to the SVN folder used last time meld was run. > I appreciate proper 'nix people never switch off their machines and certainly > never close applications, but those of us who want to save the planet tend > to do this and it is a really unfriendly thing to have to open the same version > control url/folder every time... I'm not really sure what you're asking for here. Do you want Meld to automatically re-open your last comparison? If all you want is to remember previous locations, then we do that already. Just open the drop-down from the File->New... dialog and you'll have your most recently opened comparisons. There have been requests for a "Recent comparisons" entry in the File menu. While I'm not against doing something like that, it's never been clear exactly how it would work given different comparison types. cheers, Kai
