I think this change goes a bit too far.

The diff3 algorithm is embedded in the Subversion client libraries (on which
TSVN relies) and is the standard way Subversion merges changes from the
repository in the working copy. The merge is executed automatically and only if
there are merge conflicts Subversion creates a set conflict files which should
be manually solved by the user (with KDiff3).

I can understand some people want to override this standard 'merge
automatically' behavior but I guess for most people the standard behavior is
sufficient.

So, if you want to add it to KDiff3, can you make it:
a. optional
b. disabled by default
c. not part of the TSVN integration option

In fact (this is obviously my personal opinion) I'd like not to give my users
this option, because it's definitely going to confuse them and if they enable
it it'll generate a flood of support requests.

Lieven.
