resolving tree conflicts

Hi,

I'm using r34217 of the svn trunk.

I have a test wc set up with several tree conflicts. Since the resolving
branch has been merged back to trunk, I wanted to finish the conflict
resolving in TSVN, but I seem to miss something - maybe I don't
understand the concept.

Merging a revision range from a branch back to trunk, with 'file' being
removed on the branch but with local modifications in the wc. This of
course leads to a tree conflict:

Tree conflict:
  The merge attempted to delete 'file',
  or attempted to rename it.
Either you have edited 'file' locally, or it has been edited in the
history of the branch you are merging into, but those edits are not
present on the branch you are merging from.

Now, I like to resolve this conflict. Using
$ svn resolve file --accept theirs-full

I expected the file to get removed, since that was what the merge
attempted to do. But the file just gets the tree conflict state removed.

Is this how it is supposed to work?

Stefan
