svn merge says I have conflicts in repository when files have not been updated ?

Hi !

I have a repository in which I am trying to port changes from a branch to
trunk. Here's a concise history of the repository:
    r1: Imported data into trunk/
    ... (Unrelated changes)
    r5: Created branch
    r6: Delete files in trunk/
    r7: svn merge trunk@5 trunk@6 into branch
    r8: Update files in branch

Now, when I run the following commands, svn gives me conflicts:
D:\wc\compta>svn info
Path:
Url: http://.../trunk/A
Revision: 8

D:\wc>svn merge http://.../branches/A@7 http://.../branches/A@8
C compta.lib
C COMPTA.APP
C compta.exe

Why are these files in conflict ? Last time they were updated was in
trunk/, at rev 1. They were not modified in between. There's probably
something I do not understand about branching and merging here...

I am using Subversion
svn, version 0.25.0 (r6433)
   compiled Jul 10 2003, 22:05:10

On Win2K SP3.

Thanks !
