Ok I looked into this a bit more and I see what's going on now.
The post merge conflict resolver runs because the merge operation reported
conflicts (via the conflict stats).
This calls
svn_client_conflict_walk
which calls
svn_wc_walk_status
which reports no conflict at that path because the wc was never changed because
it was a dry run. So the whole operation gets dropped here.
I’m still convinced the whole thing is a pointless exercise.
A dry-run merge will not produce any actual conflicts on-disk so the resolver
will never do anything.
I guess there could be other reasons I don’t know of to run the resolver so
we’ll just leave it as is.
Thanks again for your time.
Regards
Jonathan
