While using KDiff3 to resolve merge conflicts, how do I save the resolved copy of the A and B versions?
I open KDiff3 to resolve merge conflicts. I am able to resolve each conflict by selecting the desired version. When I have resolved all of the conflicts, I click the merge button. Then I try to save, but a prompt appears saying that there merge conflicts are still present.
Clicking the merge button in KDiff3 restarts the merge process.
To continue the merge, you must save the file after resolving the merge conflicts.
The three sections you see at the top of the window are section A, section B and section C.
Search for the section at the bottom left which shows the text "merge conflicts"
Right click on that line and select the parts from B and C that you want to merge, save and exit.

I am trying to use KDiff3 to solve conflicts on windows. But when run the merge I get:
KDiff3: "There is a line end style conflict"
And nothing is merged/solved:
Even though I selected DOS line ending before running the merge:
Any ideas?
It seems to work if I just save instead of pressing the Merge button. That could be a solution.
Here's a screenshot to walk you through the process that Matt Wilkie described in his answer.
Click in the C pane.
Choose an encoding other than 'conflict'
Save
What worked for me:
make the output pane active (click in it),
manually choose both Encoding and Line end style drop down choices,
save (Ctrl + S).
Without doing all three steps, I just kept getting the same error popup. Choosing Use A everwhere and/or related merge menu items had no effect.
I am creating new files on my project but for some reason they are marked by TortoiseSVN as ignored by default rather than unversion, so I keep check changes in without new files then I have to go manually to the folder right clicking on the file to add it to finally check it in, this make the whole process really annoying.
Any idea?

Possibly you configured to ignore all new files unintentionally.
Click the right mouse button in the project folder and then select TortoiseSVN > Properties.
If there is a property "svn: global-ignores" with Value "*" or "*.*", remove the property or edit it to remove the two mentioned values.
These files are ignored due to (some) ignore-rules. You have to detect this rule, if you don't want to continue adding files by hand
I swear that in earlier versions of the preview/beta/whatever I was not only able to view the difference between two files, but also merge/update. Now I'm looking at a diff window and as far as I can tell there is no way to move lines from left to right, or right to left.
The window has a "Help" link at the bottom, leading to this page which, unfortunately has no coverage of any kind of merge. The only way I can do it at the moment is to manually copy and paste, or type the text on the left into the pane on the right.
Did Microsoft remove these features opting for a "compare-only" diff utility?
Are these tools available somewhere I'm not looking?
Is it possible my installation is corrupted? Can anyone confirm that they can not only compare, but also update using the RC.
The compare tool (I believe) doesn't have any merge options. However, if you right-click on a file in source control explorer and go to Branching & Merging > Merge you can perform a baseless merge between any two files (you have to browse for the file), and resolve conflicts within the merge tool. Hope that helps.
I'm working on a project where Subversion is used to maintain version control. I use TortoiseSVN to access the project repository.
Some changes were made between two revisions on a project (let's call them rev1 and rev2), and I want to be able to apply these changes to a working copy somewhere that temporarily does not have access to the repository.
I right-clicked on a project folder, clicked 'SVN show log', selected the two revisions and selected 'Show changes as unified diff'.
This causes a window to be shown, displaying output that very much looks like a patch file that I could save. Unfortunately, I find that there is no option in the window that lets me save this as a patch file.
How can I create the patch file?
The next version of TortoiseSVN (1.7.x) will have that save option. In the meantime, you can configure a plain text editor as your unified diff viewer:
Settings dialog->External Programs->Unified Diff Viewer
There you could, for example, specify notepad.exe as your diff viewer.
One way to achieve you goal is to right click on the revision in the TortoiseSVN log and choose "Merge revision to...". Then you select you local working project and click OK.
When performing integrations, sometimes you need to merge files. The old Perforce GUI (P4Win) had a nice Ctrl+M hotkey I could use to run my merge tool quckly and easily.
In P4V, I find I need to right-click the file, click on Resolve, and then click on Run Merge Tool. Alternatively I can right click, O, O, Enter, and then click on Run Merge tool. This is a pain, especially when I need to resolve dozens of files.
Is there a way to make it better?
Right-click on your pending changelist and select "Resolve Files..." That will walk you through each file.
