Alternately, you could have simply looked at the conflict markers
placed within the file, and resolved those. But I'm glad you found
the 3 fulltexts useful too.

Yup, that's exactly the reason we require 'svn resolve'. :-)

Sure, when you run 'svn merge', the exact same diff3 process runs.
There's almost no difference between 'svn up' and 'svn merge', except
that the merge modifies just your working files, while update modifies
the text-bases and entries-files as well.
