Very good points, Julian. I actually remember being a little confused about
the fact that 'svn resolve' didn't actually resolve anything when I first
read
the Subversion Guide.

So, I'd like to change my wish-list to:

1) svn resolved foo.c
2) svn settled foo.c
3) svn resolve foo.c
4) svn settle foo.c

(My previous e-mail was not to say that I think I'm all for renaming
'resolve'
command, only that I find 'settle' to be a *much* better alternative than
'unconflict' et al.)
