** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: meld
  
  Running meld /path/to/a/folder (where the folder is a git or svn folder) does 
not work.  Meld comes up but with nothing showing in the GUI.  The man page of 
meld says that this should work so this pretty much looks like a bug.
  It is also impossible to open a vcs diff when starting meld from the 
menu/launcher
  
  TESTCASE:
   svnadmin create /tmp/test-repo
   svn co file:///tmp/test-repo repo
   cd repo
   echo "bla" > file
   svn add file
   svn commit
  echo "blub" >> file
  cd /some/other/non-vcs-folder
  meld /tmp/repo
  
  expected output:
  a diff with the result from svn diff
  real output:
  an empty window
  
+ regression potential:
+ low, it is a small simple to backport fix.
+ It has been released in oneiric since 1.5.1 with no reported regressions.
