I prefer the merge conflict icon (the stange grey blob). The main
reason for not going with the warnign icon is because it would look
quite odd to have the same overlay twice in the same image. That, and i
have trained myself to ignore the warning icons in some projects :)
If JDT didn't put warning overlays on the files i would have gone for
the warning one.
Either way, i don't really care since i tend to make sure i am up to
date before updating and manually merge any changes required.
