I'm using subclipse and subversive, and its def using a version above
1.7 - I have for a long time and sometimes I know I've chosen 1.8+ (I
have a lot of eclipse installs).

Still, sometimes I have to merge a million props that are unrelated -
sometimes I don't. I don't know what makes the difference.

I have not used 1.6 in a long long time.
