[petr@xxxx gui]$ svn merge -N -r 4985:HEAD http://xxx/trunk/gui
G    SConscript
A    post-sm-trunk.bat
A    pre-sm-trunk.bat
A    copy2sirius.txt
A    get-from-sirius.txt
svn: Checksum mismatch for 'sm.xml':
   expected checksum:  3b883d0742c00527376d372dec608cb9
   actual checksum:    1a0aecd6f781fc7101b6bd56771072a7

[petr@xxxx gui]$ md5sum .svn/
all-wcprops    dir-prop-base  entries        format         
prop-base/     props/         text-base/     tmp/          
[petr@xxxx gui]$ md5sum .svn/text-base/
build-help-trunk.bat.svn-base  build.xml.svn-base             
post-sm-trunk.bat.svn-base     rpmmacros.svn-base             
sm.xml.svn-base               
build-sm-branch.bat.svn-base   copy2sirius.txt.svn-base       
pre-sm-trunk.bat.svn-base      rpmrc.svn-base                
build-sm-trunk.bat.svn-base    get-from-sirius.txt.svn-base   
project.properties.svn-base    SConscript.svn-base           
[petr@xxxx gui]$ md5sum .svn/text-base/sm.xml.svn-base
873096c22c93dcfde7349c5a828443cd  .svn/text-base/sm.xml.svn-base
[petr@xxxx gui]$ md5sum sm.xml
873096c22c93dcfde7349c5a828443cd  sm.xml
[petr@xxxx gui]$

So the checksum is the same also with the text-based file. (either with 
the file version in the trunk, as I wrote before)
And output of diff

[petr@xxxx gui]$ diff sm.xml .svn/text-base/sm.xml.svn-base
[petr@xxxx gui]$

Thanks for your help
