A two-way merge between wc and head is a radically different operation
from the usual three-way merge performed by an update. It is much less
automated--it would require you to manually review every difference
between the wc and the head and remember it that difference reflects a
local change in your working copy or a change in the repository.

It's possible that you, personally, as an end user, want Subversion to
fall back on this kind of merging when it can't determine the base
revision. But that does not justify the kind of complexity it would
require for us to support it.
