Unfortunately that didn't work. I haven't debugged it yet, but attached
is a small testcase that shows a NullPointerException which it shouldn't
give. This might be something subtle gone wrong in the merge since
OutputStreamWriter is an override in libgcj. (Note the name of the
testcase is misleading it has nothing to do with the Charset used.)

I figured this out. Apparently this is a "feature" of svn. Since we are
doing a svn merge from a branch the new files are seen as "copies" so
they are not included in the diff because "they are already there". And
if you merge a new file in and then change it a little (like the
Makefile.in file) then the svn diff is against the branch, not the
trunk. There is a logic to all of this I am sure.
Anyway. All new files are now also available at:

Just untar over your patched tree.
Cheers,
Mark
