TextMate & Subversion 1.5 Update Problem With Conflict

We recently upgraded to Subversion 1.5 server at BBC Worldwide. I ended up upgrading my client at the same time with the latest OSX binary from Colabnet. One weird thing started to happen though: whenever there were conflicts, TextMate wouldn’t allow me to use the ‘Resolve Conflicts with FileMerge…’.

Long story short: the interactive mode keeps TextMate from getting all the data so you don’t get the .rxxx & .mine files which are needed for FileMerge to show you the differences.

To fix this is:

  1. go into your TextMate Subversion Bundle
  2. go to the Update to Newest (HEAD) command and add --non-interactive after '#{svn}' update

You can see the resulting code here (change on line 14).
