Yes, but the same problem was present when using Meld 1.7.0.

Yes. I now believe that's where the problem comes from.

I think the problem is that Meld finds a CVS directory in the CWD, but
doesn't find a .svn directory in the CWD. CVS puts a "CVS" directory
in every directory in the working copy, but SVN only puts a ".svn"
directory in the top-level directory. IIRC, older versions of
subversion put a ".svn" directory everywhere (like CVS does with "CVS"
directories).
If Meld finds a "CVS" directory in the CWD, but doesn't find a ".svn"
directory in the CWD does it stop there, or does it continue to search
upwards for the ".svn" directory like it does when there's no "CVS"
directory?
