You're right. This oversight has been corrected for 1.7. For the
record, here's what it says (as of r1060460):

[[[
  For each merged item a line will be printed with characters reporting
  the action taken. These characters have the following meaning:

    A Added
    D Deleted
    U Updated
    C Conflict
    G Merged
    E Existed
    R Replaced

  Characters in the first column report about the item itself.
  Characters in the second column report about properties of the item.
  A 'C' in the third column indicates a tree conflict, while a 'C' in
  the first and second columns indicate textual conflicts in files
  and in property values, respectively.
]]]

Steve
