I still run into the same issue with another Windows IDE. Fortunately in
my case, it's possible to usually know I didn't change anything important,
and hit SVN revert before updating. Or you could figure out what location
in the file is changing (hopefully a constant offset, or something obvious)
and write a short program to overwrite it with the value from the
conflicting revision. If anything other than the dates are changing, then
you've got a mess. Differencing binary files is outdone in badness only by
differencing undocumented binary files. One other option, never having
used VDSP personally, *might* be to see if there's a way to import settings
from a more sane format, and just import every time you load the project.
No particularly good solution, as others hinted at...
