It seems that upstream added support for git in SVN: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=327980 Ss, given the next version will have this, I wonder if it is worth adding now the needed file http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/meld?view=revision&revision=971 to the Fedora package.
Seems reasonable enough, since I'm not sure when the next meld release is. I'm going to push this to Rawhide for now to get some testing. If you want to test it for f9, here's a scratch build: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=644042 Depending how the results are, I'll look at pushing this for F9.
Based on my testing for the last half hour or so, it seems fairly stable so I'm going to push it to the testing repo.
