I did test the merge with xml files and it worked fine
as long as we made edits more then 5 to 10 lines appart from each other.
When we made edits that were only 1 or 2 lines appart we got conflicts
which I felt the merge should have been able to solve.
I am not a CVS expert, but I was thinking that perhaps the tags
diff3 was looking for were different for xml. I am going to test it
some more, prehaps I will have to look into the source code, but I
was hoping someone on the list had some experience with this.
