Hm... In my (Vlad's, really, I just fleshed it out a bit) proposal,
if no conflict occurs at all, the user sees nothing out of the
ordinary. He has a working file that contains his local mods, and a
text-base that doesn't.
If any conflict occurs, the user has:
- working file: just his changes
- text-base: just the changes from the repository
- rej-file: both sets of changes, with conflict markers where
conflicts exist.
What's missing that you need to fill your three-view quota? The
original working_file before the user edited? And if so, why is that
important? `svn diff' will show you what portions of your work differ
from the new text-base. I think I'm failing to understand how you
tend to do conflict resolution.
