I probably don't have voting rights, but that never stops me. A big +1 here.

    SVK gives a similar option on any update -- it interactively asks
you whether to use "mine", "theirs", "spawn default merge app now", or
"save revision-numbered file for merge later" (I'm paraphrasing of
course). I'm not suggesting constant interactive updates like this
(it's actually a little annoying), but I would like to be able to call
"svn up --mine-always ...", or something of the sort. There are many
occasions that I know what I want ahead of time, iff conflicts arise
upon update. These are the same occasions that I hate having to do 1
or more additional "resolve" steps.
