Some operations should do it for you.

All we ought to require is that the user express some kind of
intentionality about the conflict. These methods are all pretty clear
expressions of intention to resolve:

   removing the rej file
   reverting
   deleting/restoring the file

The reason they're all clear expressions of intention is that the
first blows away the repository's "suggested" changes, and the other
two blow away the user's conflicting changes. Either way, the user
has irrevocably expressed a resolution preference, so Subversion might
as well honor it. :-)

Issue #486 deals with the revert case, but I don't think there's any
issue for the specific scenario Daniel Stenberg encountered. Daniel,
would you care to file one?
