The conflict is when you have a filename collision in the repository.
The client gets the first file, then can't bring down the second
because to a case-insensitive system, it looks like the same filename.

Not all virus scanners truly disable when you disable them. And some
turn themselves back on. The error usually is that the virus scanner
holds an exclusive lock on the file and your Subversion client can't
do what it needs to do. When you perform a checkout, the files are
pulled into a temporary directory, then moved - the conflict happens
when the virus scanner's exclusive lock prohibits the move.
