Resolved the 'inconsistent newlines' merge error by updating my svn client. The error was caused by a bug in svn client (http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3262) that was fixed in 1.5.5. Fixed conflicts in image.c, object_edit.c, wm_operators.c, source/creator/CMakeLists.txt and CMakeLists.txt. Merge didn't remove some files that were moved/renamed in trunk, svn reported 'Skipped [filename]' on these files. I removed them with: svn --force remove release/io svn --force remove release/ui svn --force remove source/blender/editors/preview svn --force remove source/blender/editors/physics/ed_fluidsim.c svn --force remove source/blender/editors/physics/editparticle.c svn --force remove source/blender/editors/physics/ed_pointcache.c svn --force remove source/blender/editors/mesh/mesh_layers.c Now, before merging into trunk, need to update collada code so it builds ok and fix the possibility to build without collada.
