Hi Mark,

That's a special-case behavior added before the general tree conflict
effort started. We'd like to make tree conflict resolution
automatic where possible (subject to config).

We haven't hooked up tree conflicts into the interactive conflict
resolution yet. 'svn resolved' will remove the tree conflict from
the file and allow the update to proceed.

The incoming deletion of ColorManager.java was skipped due to the
tree conflict. 'svn info -uv' should show that ColorManager.java
is still at the old BASE version, and that it has incoming changes.

A similar situation occurs in stat_tests.py 31 (file 'rho'). There's
a bug currently, in that the BASE is updated despite the conflict.
We're rewriting the "skipping" code at the moment to make it consistent
for all tree conflicts.

Regards,
Steve
