Generally there, I'd not version obj, dll, exe, lib, pdb, sln and the
directories created during builds. If in doubt, check if the file is
regenerated and don't commit it then. This is drifting a bit off-topic
though.

A "tree conflict" means that SVN tried to change something to the filesystem
tree but couldn't. Examples are that it tries to create a file but a file
with the same name is already present. How to resolve that depends. If you
checked in a temporary file that is left after compiling and lateron decided
deleting it, reverting to the previous state will cause a conflict, because
locally the file is regenerated and now SVN wants to restore the file, too.

The solution there is simple, just remove the offending files. You can do so
one-by-one or, if you open the context menu while the shift-key is pressed,
TSVN presents you with the option to delete unversioned files (you can still
deselect some of them, if you want).

Cheers!
