I'm sure you do.

However, for myself and several others who have taken the time to
bring it up, it is definitely not clear.

wow. if that's the case, you might want to address some of these
entries on the about page (http://tortoisesvn.net/about.html):

- Easy to use
- descriptive dialogs, constantly improved due to user feedback

really. this isn't some kind of ad-hominem attack. i'm just trying to
give some feedback from the point of view of a neophyte that might
help improve the usability of the product.

might it be possible to show, in the dialog, the path/URL/version of
both the 'local' and 'repository' entries that conflicted? that would
certainly go a long way to clarify which term refers to which entry.
